    We prefer to keep our q&a on the site.

    Can you start by giving us your operating system specs, and what lead up to your current situation?

    Are you dual booting XP with Linux, have you installed it or attempting to run a live CD?

    So have you installed Linux on your machine already ?

    If you have you will need a boot loader programs like GRUB or similar that controls which OS you boot into..

    Right.
    Well you can install any of them without a net connection.
    Ubuntu is one of the easiest to use for a first timer.

    Normally when you download linux it's as an image file.
    This is then burnt to CD and you then boot from that CD.

    With Ubuntu you get the option to try it (live CD) or install it.

    Please try the live CD option and you can install from there.

    I must ask why can't you connect to the net while you are doing this.
    All you in to do in plug in a connection..

    The error message is VERY important.

    So does it actually have XP installed on it at all ?
