This is from the instruction manual. I take it this is the CD you said earlier that you don't have.


Reinstalling Windows XP
You can reinstall the Windows XP operating system with the "Windows XP Recovery CD" and the
"Drivers & Utilities" CD.
The instructions are provided on the case of the Recovery CD.
!
During the reinstall process your personal files and any installed programs will be deleted.
We advise that you backup your files to an external hard drive, or CD / DVD disk before
you start.
► Switch the notebook on.
► Press the F12 key when the message F2: Setup F12: Boot Menu appears on the
screen.
► Insert the "Windows XP Recovery CD" into the CD/DVD drive.
► Select the CD-ROM and press the Enter key.
► Follow the instructions on the screen.
After the installation you must install all the drivers again. Some installed hardware components will
not be correctly supported until this has been done.
► Insert the "Drivers & Utilities" CD into the CD/DVD drive.
The CD starts automatically.
► Click on the Desk Update button.
► Select Automatic driver installation (Express) and click Start installation.
► Follow the instructions on the screen.
► Restart your notebook when the driver installation is completed.
