You could just reinstall windows.

Try this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)Put the windows install disk in your disk drive,
Shut your PC off,
Turn it back on,
And press f12 as soon as you see the loading screen.

It will then open a boot menu.
Use your arrow keys and select your CD drive.

It will then boot off your disk drive and it will reinstall windows, reformatting your shit.

I don't have a Windows installation disk. I was thinking of torrenting Windows 7 and testing the torrent out on my old computer, but I'd like to hear more of Toaster's idea.

EDIT: Dammit, Toaster. How am I supposed to find out if the hard-drive had Windows on it?

Peetah:
I would say you leave this to a more experienced person.
The wrong executions will leave your computer useless till you get an expert anyways.

During boot hit F8 or esc

System Image disks and system repair disks will only let me restore.

And I said it wasn't letting me boot from the Windows XP disk.
