Officially, you can not download the CD image. Microsoft does not
generally provide such a service (unless you are a member of their
"development" group.)

If you just need to get into the Recovery Console, yes, you can use any
bootable XP CD. You're not installing anything from teh CD to the hard
disk, so there isn't really a license issue or file or key type
compatibility issue.

You can also perform the same tasks, via differing procedures, using Linux
boot disks or hosting the drive in another system.
