There is a site called www.bootdisk.com where you can download bootable CD images and floppies.

Some of the stuff you have to pay for, but you can get a bootable USB image or floppy for free.

It's a mate's computer, It was sat in his garden for a few days but seems to work ok
I've managed to restore XP but the Screen Resolution is stuck on 800x600 pixels and Colour quality is stuck on 4 bits.
with no option to adjust either. Any ideas?

Yep, what DW says. You need to find out what display adapter it is and download the correct drivers off t'internet. Some older cards aren't natively supported in XP, so you need the third party drivers.
