You could try downloading one of the free 'bootcd's or a Live Linux distro (eg Ubuntu) to prove the system will boot off the CD drive - assuming you have a desktop with burner. Normally an XP install CD will just boot straight in to setup if the BIOS allows it. Don't know if the Tosh BIOS prevents it, but can't see why they would!
