sorry but i have original windows XP which i cannot use because my cd-drive is not working. I have my original product key under my laptop but i cannot use it. What else can i do then?

Sorry i forgot to answer that my BIOS is set first from Usb hard drive My laptop is HP Compaq nx 7400 (intel Centrino Duo)

I downloaded Windows XP Professional SP3 Nov 2013 + SATA Drivers, i originally had windows xp on the laptop but i cannot install original because of cd-driver not working. I used winsetupfromusb 1-1 version and i auto-format FBinst (NTFS format), i have tried with multiple usb sticks but with all the same result. I did not understant the question with OS (sorry i am not very good)

I have already made my usb bootable by winsetupusb, and tried to install windows xp with it but then this happened and now i can't even make my laptop start. I already read this topic http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/46129-cwindowssystem32presetupcmd-file-not-found/ but still i did not understand what i am suppose to do. Could you please explain to me step by step what i have to do? I would be more than grateful. Thank you

I have tried to format my laptop with windows xp sp3 from a bootable usb because my cd-drive doesn't work at all and this message keeps showing up: "C:\windows\system32\presetup.cmd file not found C:\windows\system32\setuporg.exe file not found cause Presetup.cmd not in i386 uxpcd setuporg.exe no in i386 uxpcd check txtsetup.sif in i386 folder" abort installation and then restarts by itself and then again the same message and this goes on and on... I have read everything you post in this topic but still i haven't understand what i have to do... could someone please explain maybe a bit more simple for someone that is not expert in computers. Please is a little urgent. Thank you in advance, i am awaiting a reply.
