OS CD Question

I have Windows XP on a bootable cd. But i think i saw that it is an .exe, is it still going to install on my HDD, or does it have to be .iso

The cd you get from Microsoft (through a retailer or whatever) is in neither a .exe or .iso format.

if i screw up installing it, is there a way to redo it. Would I have to format my harddrive or something.

If you mess up while installing it, formatting shouldn't be tough. It's not like you'll lose something.

Boot from the cd. There are options to format during the install.
