Like Girderman said - try an external HDD (if the laptop is able to boot from USB). Connect it to another computer with a CD drive - copy ALL files on the XP CD to a folder on the external HDD. Then boot from that HDD on the laptop - browse to the "XP folder" - type "setup" without the qoutes. And - obviously - install XP to the internal HDD.
