upgrade version. But when i try to it cant find the

You pillock, you're certainly not the brightest bulb here!

He said, "I have Xp loaded on the comp,but=20
i dont have the disc."

Note "I have", as he didn't say I loaded Xp without the install CD! He =
obviously meant that it is already loaded on his PC!

With an upgrade version the only way to do a Clean Install is to have
another Windows CD to put in when asked for it, to qualify you to use an
upgrade. It can be a windows 98 cd if it's the home version.
You have to put in the XP cd + reboot and choose "boot from CD" on the black
screen.
