Windows XP can't start. This is what I get: ...
By the way, the Windows XP comes with the used IBM
machine I 've just bought recently so I don't have any related CD.

So what you bought was hardware that included a polluted hard drive. Apparently the license for Windows was not included in that sale so you will now have to go buy a copy. If the OS were included, the seller must surrender the installation media (unless the image is in a hidden partition but then there should be instructions on how to restore from that image or create an install CD from it).

You don't have the installation media to perform a Repair install. With used hardware, and if the OS was actually included, you should always wipe the drives (i.e., format the OS partition, at a minimum) and do a FRESH install of the OS. You can't do that because the OS was not included in the sale.

If the Windows license was supposed to be included in the sale, contact the seller and demand that they provide the installation media.
