Download an XP torrent from demonoid or any other torrent site.
Burn it on a CD or DVD (Media Center edition is too big to fit on a CD) using Nero or ImgBurn. I used ImgBurn because it's smaller, but it doesn't really matter since you're going to reformat anyways.
Read this guide on how to reformat Windows XP: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/instxpclean1.htm

OH.. how to reformat..
Press F8 when you turn on the PC, till a msg appeirs of "What you wants to Boot"
From CD <<<
From Disk Driver
From Floppy
Or just wait till it says.
"Press Anykey to Boot from CD"
Then wait till the CD read complete.. then follow the steps. Is not that hard.

Like to delete everything that dose'nt comes with the CD, just delete the added files/folders? Such like format, but, with the actual info
If that is , i guess you have to reformat anyways .

Uh, I don't know if the 2002 version has it, but i have teh '04 and with mine you can reboot, and when the first screen comes up where you can choose like f2 and f12 or w/e hold CRTL+f11 and you can do a sort of re-install and make it so your comp. just came out of the box?
Or, use this http://www.howtohaven.com/system/createwindowssetupdisk.shtml
