How do you access BIOS using XP?

You don't.
You access BIOS at Boot time, usually via the DEL Key.

your computer boots into XP (or any other Operating System).

If you could tell us who the maker of your BIOS is, we could perhaps tell
you the key sequence to access it.

Your BIOS is a hardware setting and cannot be accessed from within Windows.

The same way you do with any operating system installed on your computer (-:

Greetings --

The operating system is immaterial. Only you know what
motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know the answer to your
question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual doesn't
contain the needed information, try one or more of the following:

You should also be aware that it's very easy to render, at least
temporarily, your PC unbootable by making an incorrect change in the
BIOS. So be very careful.
