    Did you receive any install/ restore discs with it?
    Did it come with an extra recovery partition, usually a D drive(D:) in your explorer? If no you need to acquire XP disc.

    Does it have the sticker on the side of the computer with its official Windows key?
    If no use belarc advisor to figure out what your key is and to see all your hardware cause you'll need to D/L drivers to reinstall after O/S installation. Chipset, audio, video, LAN drivers and more depending on your motherboard and hardware.
    What type computer you have?
