Would be ridiculous to have to buy a copy of XP when it already has a license sticker.

Note: An XP Home (Dell OEM) CD will also work, though I'm not quite sure what the licensing implications are.
(any valid Dell OEM XP CD will install without needing a key or activation and will pass all validation checks)

Used to have the same problem with MSDN, for which the ISO's were always retail ones.
It's isn't obvious which one you have, of course.
You need to get hold of an XP OEM disc, I had the same problem when rebuilding my dad's laptop.
It wouldn't read the disc which came with the laptop at all (always hung at the blue dos-like XP loading screen at some driver).
I had to get hold of another image from a *cough* external source, so I could use the OEM key as stuck on the laptop

Only ever had to re-install a few XP Homes.
And that was bad enough
