The recovery CD's won't work.
Go around to garage sales and pick up a copy of Windows 98 for $5. Or if you can borrow one from a friend for a day, that would work just as well. You just pop it in for a second, it sees it's a Windows disc, then it asks for the XP disc again. That's it.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
