In simple terms, formatting a CD prepares it for use, so that data can be written on to it.
When you put a CD into a computer, you must format it. When formatting is done on your CD, you will notice it has less memory on it then what it is supposed to have. This is because the computer puts "formatting files" on the CD. These formatting files are essential to using a CD with your computer. They tell the computer where on the CD to put your files, which helps keep them from getting corrupted (not working/usable).

Formatting data on a CD usually refers to removing all information previously created on said CD. You sometimes format CD-RW before and after burning to assure a successful burn.
When you are given the option to choose a format for the CD make sure you choose iTunes as the formatting so it will play on CD players.

A new rewritable CD, or CD-RW, may appear to have no usable space after formatting due to the way the disc's file system is structured. During formatting, the disc is prepared for data storage, but this process can reserve some space for system files and error correction, reducing the available capacity. Additionally, if the formatting process includes creating a specific file system, it might further limit the space available for user data. As a result, the reported usable capacity may be lower than the total physical capacity of the disc.

If you have an XP pro CD you can simply enter the BIOS and set the computer to boot from CD. Then put the CD in and when you reboot it will begin setup and format the drive and install Xp as part of the process.
