Unhappy Newbie, what do I need and how do I install an OS??

Hi,
I'm completely new to tablets and I have a Stylus 3400 with no OS loaded. I acquired it at a local auction and oddly, it came with a CD of WinXP tablet but without a CDRom and I have no idea how to connect a CDRom to the tablet??
Do I need to buy some kind of special CDrom player? where do I connect it? or is there another way of doing this?
For info, I don't have a floppy drive either.
PLEASE HELP, I'm totally lost here :(
If this topic has been beaten to death, please give me a link to a thread where all this is explained because I searched the forums, but couldn't find anything helpful.
Cheers,
Chumbo

Chumbo..
Easiest way to do this would be to get hold of an external USB cdrom drive that your computer can boot from. Feel free to post here if you need detailed instructions.

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for your reply! I checked the link you provided me and followed other links from there but my problem is this: In the BIOS, the boot menu only gives me a choice between floppy and hard disk?!
As I said before, I don't have a floppy, but even if I got one, how will I eventually boot from the CD??
I feel I'm a bit over my head here :( Anybody wanna buy a Stylus 3400 for cheap?
Cheers,
Chumbo

I imagine you are talking about this tablet?

In that case, I find it highly unlikely that it would run (or have come with) the tablet OS.
