hi, welcome to geekstogo, changing the boot sequence in the BIOS is not big deal, but before one does that, I am wondering if a repair with an XPcd would not mend your system without your having to go through the whole process of reinstalling, what exactly is the problem with the system as it is, if we could mend it and dump all the stuff you no longer need, your system would be a good as reinstalled.
another problem is the license, suppose it were not a standard XP license but the maker's own special type, then reinstalling with an XPcd using your license would not take, also there are the drivers to gather, the CD copies of the programs you use(because programs too have to be reinstalled, not just copied back) and then there is the activation of the license with Microsoft, etc., etc., in all a lot of work for little gain.
anyway, my 2cts is this, but someone else might offer a better idea, they normally do, lets wait

Northgate recovery console can be accessed by pressing F4 while your computer is booting. As soon as it starts to boot press F4.
