There is no QuickBooks procedure required involving the QB CD.

1. Run QuickBooks update on the old computer and open the data file to
ensure that everything is at the latest revision level.
2. Using QuickBooks, backup the data on the old computer to a CD or
flashdrive.
3. Using the QuickBooks CD, install the software on the new computer and
run update.
4. Copy the data to the new computer. The easiest way is to restore the
backup you made in 2 above.
5. Ensure that everything is working properly on the new computer.
6. Remove the program from the old computer using Add/Remove Programs
(Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs in Windows XP).

Note:

The previous procedure will backup your data file. It will NOT backup any
customized forms (invoices, statements, etc). Additional work is required
to copy these if you have any. Be sure EVERYTHING is working correctly
before deleting the old computer's information.
