[ Desktops ] Open Question : If I use kill disk to wipe out my computer will i still be able to use my cd rom drive to reboot it?

I want to wipe out my computer completely and start over again. Currently I have windows 7 but I want to use windows xp like I had before. If I use kill disk to wipe it out will I still be able to use my cd rom drive to install windows xp? I have never used this program before and I am curious as to how it works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
