if your xp drive is fat32 try a win98 boot disk and install quake from dos
you can get a w98boot disk from www.bootdisk.com

if you have a lan and a win98box try installing on a win98 box on your lan and
copy across 

the quake install files used to be in LHA format which from memory
winzip will open you could also try winzip to extract the files.

gforce supports opengl so you'll be able to use glquake and glquakeworld
(glqwcl) don't let either install opengl32.dll as it's a mini opengl driver for
3dfx based cards only.
