You can purchase XP CD (with a license) on eBay very cheaply. That is the only way I have seen. Really not worth it.

okay but any xp cd would work or you need xp with sp3 etc???
Yes, and so you would have to slipstream SP3 on to the CD.
Why are you trying to resurrect a dead machine with a dead OS?
You can purchase whole XP machines (still I think) for next to nothing.

Your first keyword is XP.
If Windows 7, it should have come with a recovery partition. You can do a Repair Install of Windows 7 with a DVD or with a working recovery partition. Here is a Seven Forums tutorial to assist.

i never saw the message you posted "windows seems to be corrupt"
so you may have malware on it
best is to attach the HD to a working system, and scan it from there first
then retry
