One important thing about the recovery cd's : you can't reinstall
windows XP only using the recovery cd's. Those cd's will automatically
erase the first partition called hda1 ! 

So if you have deleted your predesktop area... find another way to
reinstall winXP, like using an official cd and the windows key on the
back of your laptop.

For my part, i've created a CD with the support and tools directory from
the original preinstallation. I will use it next time I install an XP on
my laptop (I hope never) to add ibm's sofwares.
