Ok type the commands below and press enter after each line. If at any point you enter one of the commands and it says something was incorrect, let me know. I haven't done this kind of thing in a while so it's possible I could get some syntax wrong, but it's pretty simple.
Also, I'm going to use the standard CDrom drive letter, D: but yours may be different. You need to know what drive letter the drive your CD is on. To do this, first type:
CD.. (This will back you out of the Windows directory and bring you to the root of C)
CD D: (Changes directory to D)
DIR (Will list the files and directories of the D drive. If you see I386, Setup, Support...that's the XP cd drive and this will be the drive letter you'll use. If not, then try CD E: then enter the DIR command and keep doing this until you find that you're in the XP CD.)
I'll assume by this point you've found what your drive letter is. For the sake of the rest of these commands, I'll assume your CD drive with the XP CD in it is the D: drive.
Do the following. (each line is a separate command. Press enter after each line)
CD C:
CD WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS
DIR (Locate volsnap.sys to verify it's there)
DEL volsnap.sys
DIR (Ensure volsnap.sys is gone)
COPY D:\I386\volsnap.sys C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\volsnap.sys
DIR (Locate volsnap.sys to verify it's there)
If that all goes off without a hitch, I think you can type EXIT or END or something to get out of Recovery Console. When you're out of recovery console, restart your computer and while that's happening go ahead and kick the CD out so it doesn't try to boot to it again.
See if Windows will start normally. Let me know what happens.
