    set bios to boot to the cd and use the xp cd to clear the partitions and reformat. Or if your bios doesnt support cd boot option you'll need to download the program that makes the 6 floppy boot disks. Win xp boot disks

    i would say that contacting the company you got the pc from would be a good idea. you should never get a pc without the OS install disk or atleast a recovery disk.

    going out and buying it would be an option, but its expensive and i would save that as a last resort.
