hi abhijith S, sorry to tell you this but you are out of luck to run a reinstall you must have a windows install diskett but your in luck since windows 7 beta has came out windows xp has got cheaper but seeing that we are sharing it is hard to tell you that formating is not for someone that cannot install their own windows like i can give you a sight on the computer where you can download windows xp without an install diskett. and even if i did i would not it is called pirating and microsoft is right on top of that so go to a software store and buy yourself a new windows diskett. good luck hope i was helpful to youHOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS XP?
If the system or system32 folder is missing, and you do not have a Windows XP CD:





The official answer is, you will need to buy a new Windows XP CD and reinstall Windows to get your computer working again.





The second official answer is to hire a IT professional to come and reinstall Windows from one of their CDs, using your CD key. If your copy of Windows XP is legitimate, then you should find the CD key on a Windows XP label stuck to the outside of your computer, somewhere.





However, IF your computer installation is legitimate, AND you have a valid CD key, then you can go to another computer and download an illegal copy of Windows XP and burn it to a CD. Reinstall Windows from the burned CD and enter your own CD key when prompted. Note: not all CD keys work with all Windows XP installers. Make sure that what you download matches your system's installation. Once you've downloaded XP, and repaired Windows, destroy the downloaded software.
Do you have a recovery partition on your hard drive? Be aware using it will reset your computer back to original specs, this will reformat the drive, and you will lose any data you have on your hard drive.
