Can you not boot from your XP installation CD and use the recovery
console?, if no for whatever reason, then perhaps you can borrow a
CD from a colleague.

An option would be to purchase a USB Floppy drive, as it looks like
your existing CD-ROM as gone south. But as you can't get into
windows to install the required drivers.....
I can only suggest you replace the CD-ROM drive.
