Then take it back to the place you bought it and tell THEM to fix it for you...then cuss their asses out for selling you a system without an OS CD.
Jeez...you didn't even get a "system restore" CD??? Based on your computer buying habits, I think I have a bridge or some oceanfront property I'd like to sell you....I'll make you a KILLER deal on it, I promise.
About all you can do now is use the computer you're on now and go download an illegal copy of winXP pro and burn it to CD to install on the other box...PROVIDED your hardware isn't screwed.
Are you SURE you can't hit the f8 key and boot into safe mode?

Or was it bought used, with no Cd

There are a couple things you can do. Do you have a windows 98 boot disk. Or, you can just hit F8 i believe and go into setup and boot into safemode. If you don't care about the system or the files on it you mine as well get a copy of whatever OS you want load it on (keep the cd). But, I am unable to tell you what to do with the information you provided.

Would reinstalling windows reformat my HD.

yes.
Whatever partition you want windows to install on, it will format it.

The computer my company bought for my office has XP installed, and NO restore cd with it..the reason I was given was to cut down on piracy. If I want one, I have to request one from Microsoft....andI have went round and round with my IT about it.... they still haven't got one for me...

Sorry chey, but you're wrong on that point. You will have the option to format but you don't have to take it. Windows will install over itself, but you have to make it. It will try to intall to C:WINDOWS000 or somesuch...you have to specify that it intall to C:WINDOWS by changing the fiilename it tells you it is going to install to.
