Hmm, that's a good question. I've reinstalled XP many times but never tried to do using the XP installation itself, always used master disks or install images (see below). If you find out how to do it let us know!
FWIW, I'd strongly suggest that once you've solved your problem and reinstalled XP in the machine, grab an image of your drive using something like Acronis True Image or any other disk image maker, burn it off onto CD.
That way you can simply copy over your clean installation image if you need to do this again instead of having to go through the reinstall hassle. I realize this doesn't help you now but it's an easy thing to do that can avoid mucho headaches in the future. The only trick is you need to keep those discs on file for some indefinite point in time in the future.
