If you do not have an XP install CD, may be you can try what you have there. I doubt if it can do Recovery Console.

Btw the way, are you OK with doing a restore? I am asking this because with CDs that you have, I think (and I may be wrong) your best and easiest option is a reinstall... that is if it still has the error.

As for the freeze, run Memtest86+ to test your RAM and do HDD diagnostics. This will help rule out two possible contributors to the freezing issue. Also run NHC or SpeedFan (Google for download sites). These programs will help you see your temperature should the freeze is a result of overheating.
