My laptop when turned on only comes up with the name of dell, and stops. Setup and boot menu = f2 = F1

laptop does not start at the top. After trying menu start, it indicates there is no boot device. I would like to start fees and re install windows xp but I don't have a cd or a disc if I have the product key. Can someone help me clean up my computer and re install windows without the cd, which I hope it will fix the problem

brick2,
Thank you for taking the time to post.  You're saying that it sounds as if your hard drive is not detected.  You will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC to help with the possible hardware failure and to get copies of the system restore disk.  There is not a way to install windows without a CD or a recovery partition on your hard drive (which it appears right now that your laptop does not see).
