You will have to set your first boot drive as cd rom and boot windows xp disc and either do a quick or full format on the hard drive and install windows xp on it and it will boot up fine

As long as your friend isn't using that product key on any other system, then yes, use your friends product key that came with the disk you have. The problem comes when you use the same key on 2 different systems. That's called software piracy.
