I want to reformat my hard drive, but I can't find my Windows XP CD. I have the CD Key on a sticker attached to my computer, so all I need is the software. Does Windows allow you to download the software onto a CD? I checked the website and I'm having trouble finding it.

hello Pritaeas, the link you provided is for Service Pack 3 for XP. I do not beleive that bo0ga will be able to download an ISO image for XP from Microsoft's site.
I would suggest that bo0ga contact Microsoft support for further assistance. Alternatively, if this computer is a DELL, HP, etc, a recovery CD that includes the image of the OS can either be downloaded or purchased from the OEM directly.
