But for some unrelated reason I needed to re-install windows XP

Hmmm, I have the cd set not dvd, but the boot screen has a Hit F1
option where I enter rescue which has an option to restore boot

Make your boot disk on a floppy though as it loads your compiled version

video and module loaded) will work when you boot the other way (with the
cd).
