Set CD drive to boot from CD or download the bootable disks. Had the same prob with my sisters laptop today but i had the disks so booted from those.

Or use Nlite to create a bootable XP Pro cd -You can also use Nlite to place in your details, such as Product ID and User names etc for a automated installation. You dont have to press a single key it will do it all for you
