I'm sorry but you're really going to need an actual operating system disk to
make repairs. You can borrow one from a friend as long as it matches the
version/flavor of XP installed on your computer; i.e., XP Pro/Home/MCE
retail/OEM. If this is out of the question, take the machine to a local
computer professional. This will not be someone from
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad. Get recommendations from family, friends,
colleagues.

If your copy of WindowsXP was genuine, you can get a replacement from MS.
You'll need your Key Code, you can get it this way:
Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder v1.41
