I am running a legit version of Windows XP Home edition actually, but I moved to university and left my disk back at home! Since I'm a student though, I'm able to download Windows XP Professional for free and burn this to a CD. I've done this on somebody elses computer and have inserted the CD, but are you saying that I have to put the CD in as it is booting up? Because I did not do this. Currently it just seems to boot up normally despite the windows os disk being there.
You say about pressing F8.....I've done this but it just gives me options about safe mode, system restore (which had no effect) and a couple of other things I can't remember. It didn't mention anything about entering into setup though.
