How to install XP on an Acer laptop with Oracle VirtualBox

I try to install XP Home edition on my Acer 2301 XC Travelmate via Oracle VirtualBox, as a virtual machine under Linux Mint 13. My goal is to install a few programs Windows XP on the Acer that not settle with 'Wine' of Linux emulator, for example Adobe Creative Suite 5.

However, I think that the original XP came with the Acer discs are not really bootable - they are more recovery. There were two disks that came with the Acer (see photo). Is there a way to extract an ISO bootable disk #1 image? Or I have to download a file appropriate?

Specs below:

With Recovery of Acer for XP disc 1 reinstall up to 80-90%; After that ends in Acer Disk 2, the resettlement.

You have a line sliding % you showing progression, which does not disappear from the screen when changing the discs after the Acer request that.

And I speak from experience. You do not own an Acer recovery disk Bootable Disk.

Acer has changed their recovery process of XP to the way they do in Vista.
