Use the recover CDs that came with your laptop. It should recover to factory settings with the CD key you had when you bought it..
Sounds like you may have lost the key and would need one to re-install Windows XP.
If that’s the case there are plenty of free utility programs you can use to view the current key so you can back them up. Check links below.
As always here’s my recommendations for you after your install:
These programs are free as well.
1) Use CCleaner to do a FULL cleanup.
2) Immunize and scan the system with Spybot Search & Destroy.
3) Update Windows with all the latest Windows updates.
4) Use the latest release of FireFox as my default browser.
5) I’d use Symantec EndPoint Protection 11 as my Firewall/Anti-virus/Anti-spyware protection. It also does not require an annual subscription like the other iterations from Symantec / Norton and McAffee and others.
6) Consider turning off your page file if you have 1+ gigabytes with XP or 2+ gigabytes with Vista or Windows 7
