If your Machine wont boot XP from cd you will need a Floppy drive to install. to obtain the 6 disk boot set go to:

Choose the edition you are installing and download. If you cant get them from your computer use a friends, and remember that the 6 disks you will need will have to be High Density, and Pre- Formtted.
