Default Invalid system disk' when you start Windows XP?

Have a friend that bought a used compaq (Deskpro EN
SN#6011cr23e328)PIII/550MHZ last year and it has Win Xp on it.Well he
moved and lost his XP disk and never made a system reastore disk and now
it gets a "Invalid system disk" when you start Windows XP. Is He hosed
on recovery or is there some way to recover without the the XP disk?
Tried using the 6 disk floppys from MS but got an error on disk 3.
