Reinstall Windowa XP without disk

I've been trying to connect to the internet for a few days now, and I keep getting error message 638. I called the ISP and was told (after rebooting and whatnot) that I'd need to reinstall Windows. One problem - I don't have the disk. Is there any way to reinstall Windows XP without it's original disk?

Do you have even a restore disk? If your XP is legal you should have either a full CD or a restore disk that came with the system. I don't think these errors can be solved without a reinstal and you cannot reinstal without one or other type of disk.
