Which XP install disc? Will the original disc, pre-SP1, repair the SP2 system?

Yes you can use the original install CD, you will have to reinstall SP2 after the repair is done.

If you are not familiar with the recovery console, select install from the first menu instead of recovery and then select repair an existing windows installation when prompted thereafter.

Also if you do not have a recovery disk, the console will only be useful if you know exactly which install files are corrupt.
