I downloaded the iso and burned it to DVD but when I try and boot it take ages and after 5 mins I start to get a load of errors:
EDD: Error 800 reading sector nnnnnn
I reburned a new image but it generates the same problem. I can't get past go this time.
Any ideas please, other than sticking with XP a bit a longer?

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Or if your system will boot from usb try the unetbootin util to make a bootable usb drive.
Or re burn it a a LOW speed 4x.

Not sure if its worth buying a stack of DVD+R's but thanks for the advice. I tried to boot from the usb as suggested using the unetbootin prog . in set up there is an option for USB -FDD but it ended up with the firing up XP on on the HDD so I couldn't get that to work either.
Really cheesed off now. May be its time to recognise the old hardware is passed it.
AMD Athlon XP - 2200+ (1.8 GHz); 1.5GB of RAM. Didn't seem that ancient to me.

Just one though might be to try something that comes on a CD rather than DVD install - there' plenty of choice out there.

That's not the only thing that will cheese you off, I believe that your CPU may also be one that no longer supports Flash as is mine. A lot of the older Athlon processes don't because of Adobes decision to drop support other than security updates for Linux and they built newer versions with SSE2 coding which isn't supported by our CPU's. Check to see if your Flash is working here if not you're talking to the right man, I may finally be some use in here for once I have saved all the stuff for a solution until flash dies.
