Write your ISO to CD/DVD-R/RW and install XP from it. If you do not want to damage your Win10 bootfiles, detach your HDD before installation.

I triedWin2USButility to read from .iso file and copy but it gave this error while reading .iso file:cannot find bootable image (0x0000000C,,,). Do you know what this means?

If so your ISO is not install disk ISO, it is filecopy. Bootblock is lost. Add it into ISO, then burn.

Find any Windows XP installation ISO copy. Download it. Open in any ISO editor. Remove all files, but do not remove bootblock. Copy files from your ISO to it. Burn.

What I finally did was to download .iso image file for windows 10 using torrent. Luckily I found the best WIN10 (activated and updateable). I bought a blank DVD (8.5gb) from a local store and using Imgburn utility, I burned .iso file to DVD and finally installed Windows 10.
Hope it helps.
