Dont have a bootup disk

Bought a new motherboard, processer, power supply, and harddrive.

ONE PROBLEM: Im trying to install Windows XP Home edition or Pro, and I do
not have the bootup disk. It keeps asking for the bootup disk and I dont have
one.
The CD ROM doesnt work and the only thing that works is the floppy drive.

Can someone help me get a website or a download that i can use and save it
to a floppy so i can finally get a bootup disk and install everything!

Please HELP! Been already 2 weeks trying to make it go withought it.

Until, you can get your computer to recognise ALL of the hardware, you are
going nowhere.. you must get the cd drive and HDD to register and then set
the boot sequence such that the XP cd can be used to boot and install the
OS..

You can go to www.bootdisk.com and get a bootable floppy disk that
contains CD-ROM drivers. Boot from that, and you should then be able
to use your CD-ROM drive to read the WinXP CD. If your CD hardware
doesn't work, you're going to have to fix it before you can install
WinXP.
