Is your Windows CD a copy? Don't use those as you don't know what backdoors and spyware hackers has slipped into the install. Crackers give away a lot of free stuff like keygens and cracked software, but you know what - its a fair trade because your PC gets owned.

no it was the origional but he said it was no good anymore and kept it

An original Windows XP CD never expires. Ask him to give you your CD back.
