Imran, have you emailed Dell themselves?
 
They are usually very helpful.
 
According to the Dell web site, you need an initial set of setup floppy disks for Windows XP as the tutorial they provide tells you to "Insert the first setup disk into the floppy drive and restart the system"
 
 
But I believe that you have corrupted the CMOS settings somehow by attempting to boot from the Windows XP installation CD.
 
I suggest that you remove the CMOS backup battery and leave the machine without the battery for a few hours to ensure that everything is discharged.
Set the CMOS CLEAR jumper to clear the CMOS at the same time.
If this doesn't fix the problem, you will have to contact Dell by email through the web site and explain exactly what you did and the exact error message(s) on screen currently.
 
I had a quick look with Google and had no useful results from "Dell Optiplex 110 WRIT cmos error" or any variation of it.
 
The error makes me think that the motherboard is no longer able to WRITe to the CMOS flash memory for some reason.
 
Having looked at the specifications for the GX1xx range, I wouldn't bother installing anything newer than Windows 2000.
The machine is really not good enough for XP and it will run very slowly.
The processor could be anything from P2-266 to P3-600 using Slot1, but even assuming the P3-600 you will find it frustratingly slow if you do manage to install XP on it.
 
Good luck!!
