Help with XP re-install after trying Windows 8

[Guest NewMexico57]

After the second worse 2 hours of my computer life with Windows 8(the other was ME way back when). I scrubbed the HD with drive scrubber to make a Clean install of my XP recovery discs. This lasted 4-5 hours each time before my pc would go back screen while rebooting(complet with xp logo and curser) and not restart. I did this 3 times then 4th attempt after wiping the HD (AGAIN) I now get "These PC recovery discs do not support this pc model".
