Trying to run Linux In Windows XP using VirtualBox?

I’m trying to run Linux Mint Helena(8) in my Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Operating System. I’ve installed VirtualBox and have created the Linux OS machine in the program, but I’m trying to put in the settings. So I’m trying to retrieve/mount the iso image from a Live CD my friend gave to me, but a iso image can not be found. The CD works, since I can boot Linux from it, but I can’t find the iso image. What should I do?

Install Fedora Linux?

I have an old PC that got eaten alive by viruses and EVERYTHING, except core system files are gone or corrupted by a virus and I dont feel like fixing it. I’m thinking about wiping my hard drive completely and setting up Fedora on it to use as a workstation. Will I be able to install from a Live-CD with no operating system already on it? How? it currently has WinXP Service pack 3.
