But lets say you do have n desktop witch will make this process much easier, find the make of the motherboard and go to the site of the manufacturer under downloads and your model, there you should find a sata driver.! This driver is small(small enough to fit on a floppy) so it should be easy to spot, download this and copy it to a floppy or cd(unzip, never done it with a cd so try floppy first)!then when you start the xp setupas the blue screen start you will see that it tells you to press f6 to load sata drivers,press this as prompted,and follow the instructions,then continue with the setup, it should then go through to the installing a new Windows and then the format screen!!
