sorry,, i thought i read you dont have a cd rom. IF you have,, js download an OEM version of windows XP, as long as you have a valid legal product key,, you should be ok.. I think

So you have been without this pc/xp install for 3 years? would it be safe to assume then that there was nothing on it worth saving since it has been left for so long?

Without a windows cd there is not alot you can do.

Can you get into bios? You would need to google which key or combination of keys you need to press for your machine and then get into bios. Most likely it has lost all setup, and the back-up battery is probably dead. If you can get to bios you can check the basic machine setup and change where it looks to boot, and follow what has been suggested and boot from a minimal CD. Good luck.
