Get a windows CD of the same version that was installed and use the serial number on the sticker on your system-case for a reinstall. You may be able to repair windows so you can backup your data, but in the end it's best to do a full reinstall.

you only need an install CD of XP, you have got the license key, that is on the sticker on your system case.
