What's the actual problem with the notebook now?
I presume that it comes with system restore disks which are different to windows xp installation disks. If that's the case then you really need to get your hands on those Sony disks. It might be hard to get copies of them here if you need the US versions.
Alternatively you could reinstall windows XP from win xp disks and then download/install all the Sony software from their website (I could be wrong here - I've done it before with Acer and Toshiba notebooks though).
