XP Pro ~ not connect to the internet and try to install Windows 8, CD player does not work with discs of 32 or 64.

I have Windows XP Professional as the operating system.

The computer used to be connected to our network of offices. My wife brought her home computer, and to my knowledge because the computer was not connected to this network for several months, there is a security problem that will not allow it to connect to the internet. To connect to the router, it will not provide access to the internet.
The computer sat for several months, as it was useless to do not be able to connect to the internet.
We bought Windows 8 as a solution to overcome this problem we are not computer scientists.
We strive to use the disc drive is a Sony CD - RW disc. It works fine with any disc in there BUT NOT disks of 32 or 64-bit.
The disc of going just in and nothing else, I can load it, cannot Explorer, nothing. It's like nothing is there.
Any help would be huge, 1) either you connect back or 2) get the installation to work.
I wanted to make a clear 100% boot, but I do know and am confused about ISO / ZIP bootdisk stuff with no internet connect.
