Having problem booting my IBM T23 labtop

I'm facing a problem booting my IBM labtop from XP Prof.CD! All ways says (A disk read Error Occurred) and tells me to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.
When I do so, the labtop shows the IBM logo and there is 2 notes says Press F1 for IBM Bios Setup Utility and the other note says : Press F12 to choose temporary boot device. I dont know what to do with IBM Bios setup utility. When I press F12 trying to boot from theHard Drive or from CD device as it says, again either a disk read error occurred or it frezzes on Starting Windows setup with blue screen and then comes the error writing on another blue screen.
I need your help please, I don't have any backup CD or any thing else other than XP Prof. CD
Please help

Have you tried your disk on another PC? not to install but just read, make sure its not damaged in anyway.

Can you boot up in Windows nornally without your xp cd in there? If not can you get into safe mode at least?

Have you added any new h/w like memory upgrades? If so there could be some incompatability

Yeah Clean CD carefully and also although it sounds weird open your CD drive and blow in it this may clear any dust that maybe around the lense but it does sound like a the CD maybe damaged if you have not experinced any problems with other CDs
