Help me please. Windows xp sp3 crash

Hello. I need to know how to format my windows xp but I don't have the cd. Plus I can't pass this screen

Error-file not found
F:windows\systems32\presetup.cod - FILE NOT FOUND.

This might be bad news, but if you want to format without the cd, you might be out of luck. Remember that formatting means erasing everything to start again. You will probably need a new product code if you don't have one already. You can get a burn of a cd from local computer store for less than ten dollars, but like I said, it's all about the product code.
