You need to burn that iso to a cd, then you can boot from it and it'll 
go into install. 

It looks like your computer came with an 80GB hard drive. Do you have 
only 1 hard drive, or do you have 2? If only 1, are you planning on 
over-writing what's presently installed?

Which iso image do you have?
