Quite correct. Most of those discs are compressed images of the hard drive 
and do not have what you are looking for.

You could borrow a Windows XP disc from a friend, coworker, family member, 
neighbor, etc. long enough to install the backup program. Or you could 
probably find a copy on the Internet, like this one:
