New Install
 
I am trying to put Fedora 14 on my xp computer but that's the ONLY OS I want on it. I don't have a way to burn CDs but I have the iso image. Idk where to go from here as far as getting this linux to boot and start installing.

Could you use unetbootin to boot up from a USB drive?

You can't change the tires on your car while you're driving. Likewise, you can't replace your Windows XP operating system while you are running Windows XP. You need to "pull over" (reboot the system) and install the new operating system. To accomplish this, you will need some kind of bootable medium: CD, DVD, USB drive, or even perhaps a network install if you have the right hardware.
