Don't be sorry for that, Windows XP has its place in the world.

The exciting way would be to grab the netinstall floppys/cd images from
http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst[1], and then try to install
debian.
The boring route would be to read the installation manual at
http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#install, the GNU/Debian faq at
http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#faq, the Debian Reference/Quick
Reference at http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#quick-reference, and
the apt howto at http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#apt-howto.
One other note: Many people skip dselect during the installation and
just use apt-get. I'm not saying that its the right way of doing
things, just a popular way. :)
