Since XP is on D drive then there is a good possibility that you will have to redo everything to get your dual booting to work again after formating and reinstalling.
Had you used a boot manager other than windows' it wouldn't have been a problem then .
If your computer can boot to a USB drive then it can use a USB cdrom to install with. If not then do as Wombat sugested and replace/repair your CDrom!
