Download and install SP3 directly. Download the "Full File" titled:
OfficeXpSp3-kb832671-fulefile-enu.exe (58925 KB).

I tried that and it still asked for a disk

Contact the "someone" who gave you the free computer
and ask them for the original Office XP CD. Otherwise,
there is nothing you can do except purchase a new copy
or maybe contact Microsoft for assistance in obtaining
a replacement CD.

On a related topic:
Either the person who gave you the computer is violating the EULA - or you
are. If you don't have the disks, then you shouldn't be using the program.
BUT...........since the person gave you the computer with Office on it, he
was supposed to give you the disks as well.

I'd recommend purchasing Office to stay legal.
