What type of XP CD are you using? If you're using a branded CD like Dell, you will probably run into problems.

Do you get the main menu when you boot from the cd or does it just say no operating system installed?

It all depends what you are trying to do...most of the programs in each category are very effective, for example driveimage xml for imaging and hd tune for drive diagnostics...Your best bet is to play around with them all and get a feel for which ones you'll want to use more than the others.
