You need to restore you Master Boot Record from your windows installation disk. Linux installs it's own Boot Loader (i.e. Grub) now you have deleted the Linux partition Grub cannot load properly. Have you checked your BIOS to see if it can boot to USB CD drive? If so insert xp installation disk and boot to it. Press R to enter repair mode choose installation to repair (normally 1) enter administration password or just enter if no password was set. When you get to command prompt do "FIXMBR" then enter it will ask if you are sure, do "Y" enter reboot, reset BIOS to boot to first hard drive and that shoul be it!
If your BIOS can't boot to USB CD drive (you may need to connect it first for it to be listed) Let us know what other devices you can boot to and we can try something else!
What other boot options does your BIOS give you e.g USB HDD, USB ZIP, etc? You somehow have to run your XP install disk on you system OR
Remove you Hard drive, Install to a laptop with working CD/DVD drive in FIXMBR on that system
With most laptops I have worked on removing the hard drive is a simple matter of removing a couple of screws on the base and sliding the drive out.
