Assuming you are talking WINDOWS on a machine with a CD-ROM drive. Place your Windows disk in the drive and cycle the power.
When "Any key to boot from CD" comes up, ouch a key and follow the instructions.
If you have to enable the boot from disk, you will have to go into set up for that.

Go to Microsoft.com and read about the recovery console. That requires any Win XP installation disc. It will do a NON-DESTRUCTIVE recovery of the operating system files. But, you gotta read how to use it properly.

since you dont have an OS it should be at a screen that looks like cmd prompt(MS DOS) if you can find cmd(DOS)commands you can reformat you computer that way orrrr, you computer should have came with a disc and if you put that in there it should take it back to factory settings. and if none of that works you'll have to buy a new OS,i suggest if you do this one, wait until vista comes out(end of this year, begining of next year)
