If you still have your sticker with the key, you can borrow or buy an install disk of the same type of XP (HP & compaq must be HP or compaq branded CD's) and install with that (choose custom). You will however need a second hard drive or enough room to shrink the current partition and create another one that is large enough for XP and it's programs. You would need a third party partition tool to shrink the current partition (if it is possible). If this is a desktop, a second hard drive would be much easier.
