You might be able to get a bootable XP on floppy somewhere like ebay.

There are a few places where you can download the files to make a floppy bootable disk, I am not sure of their safe to use site, but you could also look for places to do this:

This one is from Major Geeks, very reliable but is for XP Professional:

This site if for both XP and Home Edition:

This one is for XP Home:

And this is a Google search for more:
