My Dell optiplex 320 won't boot windows XP. It starts set up then asks for sp 2 installation disc. I don't have any of the discs that go to that computer

Have you tried contacting Dell? XP is long ago obsolete (and no longer safe) and they may not have a copy available to issue you, but it's worth a try.

You could also check ebay for Dell versions of XP for sale.

Alternative: Since you are doing a clean install of the OS anyway, why not use this opportunity to move up to at least Win7?
