Help Windows XP problem

Please can someone help. I have had similar problems as another user (see
attached post below) and I can't get
into windows at all. Only the blue screen with technical jargon and the
options to edit Bios etc. I do not unfortnately have the windows XP disk
(or any other XP disks) and wonder if it is possible to somehow download this
(via another computer, onto a disk) and do the necessary repairs.

Urgent help required!!!

Have you tried asking in a Windows XP newsgroup? This is Vista.

I would add to the suggestions to visit an XP newsgroup, only for now I'll
add that without some sort of install, setup or restore disc your chances of
recovery are pretty slim.
