First MacBook Pro Issue

I want to use Bootcamp to run both XP and MacOS on this new MacBook Pro. Sounds reasonable, right?

Unfortunately, when I click on Bootcamp's "Install Windows" button and it reboots (with the XP install CD in the drive) it spins the drive a bit, then leaves the screen blank with the cursor blinking in the upper left... and nothing else happens. Ever.

Bad CD drive? I don't know, it can actually see it and see the contents while I'm running MacOS, so that much seems to be okay.

So disappointing, isn't this the product that is supposed to Just Work?
