does it have a built in recovery partition? when your first turn the computer on watch for a "Press BLAHBLAH for System Recovery"

first of all you need a windows XP disc. thatll run you about 100 bucks for an OEM version, secondly you have to either change the boot order in your bios so the cd-rom/dvd-rom boots before the hard drive, then press any key to boot from disc

Why don't you just take all of the screws out of the bottom and pop the top/monitor off and put the CD in that way? Kind of a pain in the *** but it's probably your only option..

Flip it over, take out the battery and unscrew all the phillips screws you can see. Then flip it over and lift the top half of the computer off and put the cd in, you can run it without screwing everything back in so just remove the CD after windows is installed and then flip it over and put the screws back in.
