As other replies have said, you can get third-party read/write tools for
DOS. The read tool is free, but the write tool is expensive.
Bart PE builder makes a bootable CD, with parts of XP, plus other software,

while to make, but the instructions at the website are pretty good. Just
take your time. If you find that it requires a "slip-streamed" version of
XP with SP-1, see the following link on how to make one:
