Job done.

A reboot is basically turning the power off and on again

Now I'm sure that isn't what you had in mind, I think what you ment was reinstall or rebuild, ie wipe it clean and start over.
I'm I on the right track here ?

A bootleg CD will NOT be a valid course of action, as soon as you go online to update Micro$oft will disable you install.
Your only course of action is to get a legal XP CD
