You have to boot with the XP CD to get into the Recovery Console. There is a command you can do within XP (the run command and some filename) which will install the Recovery Console on your system.. but everytime you boot XP it will be a choice in the bootloader.

You might need to change the settings in the bios to put cd-rom before the hd in the boot order

you have to change your boot sequence in your BIOS in order to boot from the CD.
