Boot to an XP disk (SP2 or later), fire up the Recovery Console, hit the "R" option, and it should fire off the "Restore" process.
There is also an option when installing XP that you can have this set as an option in the F8 boot menu right next to Safe Mode.

What I was thinking of was a process for tricking XP into "Recovering" an XP install that it might normally regard as being beyond recovery.
I'll just have to do more digging, then let you know what it was.
