Try a network install.

One way is to use a C.D rom for that you can use a usb C.D rom but if you cant afford or cant be jobless to buy one you can network the laptop with another computer and put the cd to that computer and open it from the laptop. other than these there are no more options. there is no way that you can put win xp to a floppy no way. so the only way is through networking.................
