Yes, you definitely need a CD ROM. Do you know anyone who has an external one you can borrow just to load the disc? Or search around for a cheap used one.

Easiest and cheapest option:
Buy a $20 CD-ROM drive and install it.
Insert XP CD in it, and start the computer.
Install XP.

Buy an optical drive and connect it. They really dont cost much these days, and most computers arn't particularly useful without them.

you'll have to buy an operating system to put on it. just make sure you get the full version and not the upgrade version.
