I just remembered the last time I tried both of these disks was with NT 
4.0. I noticed on the first site that if you are using W2K to use the 
Linux version. In other words, I have no idea if these will work on WinXP 
and/or what the results will be. If I have time, I'll test them out but 
until then, use them at your own risk.

Once again, the simplest (and probably most reliable) is to install the 
second copy of XP. If you are prepared to reinstall anyhow, at least try 
this option first.
