I know how to do this:
Find a clean XP Pro torrent CD that will pass WGA. Burn that as a bootable ISO on your computer.
Assuming she just wants to start over, do I have to do any of the other stuff? She said she only uses her laptop for music and internet...I can put all of my music on her computer when I'm done fixing it...
What do you think?

No, you shouldn't have any problems at all. If you have a Demonoid account, that's the easiest place to find copies of XP that will pass WGA.
I usually use PowerIso for burning ISO's, FWIW.
Oh, and make sure that when you go to install windows that you change the boot priority in BIOS to make sure it loads from the DVD/CD drive first, then change it back after restart and install are done.
