If your Windows CD was a Retail version:

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and

product upgrades, or replace product manuals"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246/en-us

 

If it was an OEM/SB version, contact the vendor.

His HD isn't feced, its ifeced. Anyways, Derrick, just find a friend with a

similar version and have them make a copy for you.

You should make a reinstall the last thing you try; with an OEM copy of

XP, you'll possibly lose all personal data.

 

But if you press F12 during the Bootup, you might find an option to

repair or reinstall the system. This works when the OEM places the

needed files on the hard drive.. and would explain your inability to

find an XP installation CD.
