I put in the disk for windows xp service pack 2 and then it said;
boot from hard drive... failed.
boot from cd/dvd-rom drive... failed.
boot from floppy drive..
non- system disk or disk error
replace and press any ket when ready

then if i tried anything else it would just repeat the same thing over and over again.
what am i doing wrong?

As you can see it fails to detect CD
Check following:
1. Boot sequence is set to CD-ROM - COnfiguration Editor- Configuration - Options - Booting
2. Try to create ISO image and specify it in COnfiguration Editor- Configuration- CD/DVD-ROM 1

To create ISO
1. Insert CD/DVD source

2. Start Terminal from Applicatins/Utilities, you can then determine the device that is you CD/DVD drive using the following command:

$ drutil status
Vendor Product Rev
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E GAND

Type: DVD-ROM Name: /dev/disk1
Cur Write: 8x DVD Sessions: 1
Max Write: 8x DVD Tracks: 1
Overwritable: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB
Space Free: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB
Space Used: 364:08:27 blocks: 1638627 / 3.36GB / 3.13GiB
Writability:
Book Type: DVD-ROM

3. Umount the disk with the following command:

$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
Disk /dev/disk1 unmounted

4. Create the ISO file with the dd utility (may take some time):

$ dd if=/dev/disk1 of=file.iso bs=2048
 
I tried what you told me and in the terminal after i typed Vendor Product Key it said,
Vendor: command not found.
I just ignored it and kept going and it said this;
Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E GAND
-bash: MATSHITA: command not found
Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$
Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ DVD-ROM Name: /dev/disk1
-bash: DVD-ROM: command not found
Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ Cur Write: 8x DVD Sessions: 1
-bash: Cur: command not found
Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ Max Write: 8x DVD Tracks: 1
-bash: Max: command not found
Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$ Overwritable: 00:00:00 blocks: 0/ 0.00MB/ 0.00MiB
-bash: Overwritable:: command not found
Macintosh:~ DiN0x3$




i just gave up after that.
