With a second hand computer, you never know what you're getting. If the computer came with XP installed, it should have come with a recovery CD or a recovery partition. The user manual, usually downloadable online, will tell you how to use this feature to put the PC back to it out of box condition.
If the PC was supposed to have a recovery CD, then the seller is required to provide it with the computer they sold you.
