Some techie help required PLEASE!

I have one of these mini note book laptops, a Dell on windows xp, And whenever i try turning it on it says it wasn't switched off properly last time (even though it was), and it gives you some options (boot from last settings that worked, boot windows normally etc) but regardless of which i click on it just carries on on the same loop, which lead me to think it may have a boot virus, but it never came with a windows installation disc, nor does it have a cd rom drive on it anyways, so re formatting the c drive and re installin windows seems impossible??. . . so what is one to do to solve this problem, it really has me beat and pulling my hair out i tell ya!! any advice would be much appreciated!!
