You're mom must have gotten one hell of a virus.
First thing I’d try would be reinstalling win XP, you need a working CD drive for that. The drivers for a CD drive are on the motherboard (BIOS to be exact) not on the hard drive, so unless you use some USB connected portable CD drive, it’s probably busted. If the virus infiltrated BIOS there isn’t much you can do either take it to a computer mechanic or buy a new one. Though viruses that can wreck a motherboard are extremely rare. The hard drives aren’t a problem unless you have data you need on them, just run over the previous windows. That should take care of the virus.
