16-bit Windows XP? That's not a thing.
Another consideration for Bernard is that your E6400 may not have a license for Windows XP. There should be a sticker on the bottom of your laptop with a serial number, that's the version of Windows that you have a license for. You can use a Dell windows installation CD with that version of Windows.
Definitely download the network drivers from the site Gary linked to, because you probably won't be able to connect to the internet on your E6400 when you first install Windows until you install the network drivers.
Also, a friendly internet etiquette tip - don't type in all caps. It gives people a bad first impression of you. :)
