Is there a way to copy protected system files and overwrite an old
version, specifically NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM?

When I updated to SP2, the installer couldn't find them (even though I
showed it where they were!). I've got the new versions, but even
booting to DOS, Safe Mode, or Repair Console won't allow it.

I am surprised you can not do it using RC. I assume you are logged on as a
local administrator. You could also try using Bart's PE to create a version
of XP from your install disk that can boot from a CD/DVD to do what you
want.

Glad to hear it. Bart's PE is good to have so that exercise was not all
futile.
