How do to meet the requirements of the earlier version to upgrade disk during the only copy was on HD partition?

My Compaq computer had problems, so I tried to fix it by using the xp pro upgrade disk I used to upgrade the system initially.  It worked for a bit, but I think that there is a virus that I have not yet.  Now when I try to rerun the repair, he says, he can't find a prior instalation of winows and don't use the upgrade disk to fix.  He wants to put me in a drive containing a full operating system but my Compaq came only with installation on a partition of the HD and I don't have a full version of put in the drive to meet and start the repair.  How can I get past this so that the repair facility can run?

You will need to find a previous CD of Windows (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP) and provide, on demand.
