XP boot disk?

I had XP corruption somehow and the PC would not boot.
I took it to technicians who did a XP repair and said that you can make a
boot disk for XP.

Is that true. is there a way to boot the PC into XP from a CD disk?

Yup. Got one myself (also updated the Windows XP disc with SP2) so that it
installs SP2 straight away...you don't need to install XP, then install SP2.
