As others have commented, the WINXP program disk is bootable so you can
repair your installation using that disk, however, you may need an
alternative approach as I do. What I have done is to make a bootable CD
that will boot into DOS and put on that CD, CDR, USB and firewire drivers
plus Drive Image, Partition Magic, ERUNT and WinResq plus a selection of DOS
tools such as format, fdisk etc. You can easily put a disk together to suit
your needs using Nero or any Burning Program that will make a bootable disk.
I used WinImage to create the bootable image file.
