You do not need a floppy for XP. Enter the BIOS and rearrange the boot order so that CD-Rom (or whatever your disk drive is with the XP disk in it) is at the top of the list... (if needed, remove harddrive disks from the list). Then, when you power on, it will ask you if you to press any key to boot from CD. Do so, and continue on with the normal XP installation.
