You have not met Bill Gates!!! He will never let you have something that you have paid for and lost.
No sorry, you will have to buy a new XP copy.

Mmm... if you have the sticker with the serial number... it will identify the type of Windows you should install... Home or Pro, OEM or not [ie retail], so call all your mates, neighbours etc and beg to borrow that same type of disk [go for an SP2 at least]. Get em to burn you a copy.

Naughty, but necessary.
