There may be a newer (or better) link, but this one has worked for me in the
past.

Scroll down a bit until you see the section titled "XP Repair Install".
(Just below the red horizontal line.)

This page has detailed instructions. It appears complex, but if you
carefully follow the steps it's not too bad.

Pay close attention to the part where it mentions using a floppy and the
"batch" command. If your system uses the "ordinary" directory names, you
can copy from that page into text files you save to the floppy. This will
save you a lot of careful typing.
