PE" (Preinstalled Environment) disk.

Installation disk itself, by booting from it and choosing the following
option when it appears :

Alternatively, you can download a free RC cd .iso image file, with just the
RC files on it, from which you can burn your own RC CD from. Again, boot
from it and choose the option : "To repair a Windows XP installation using
Recovery Console, press R" when prompted. Download the .iso image from the
link below:

files and instructions to create your own bootable USB memory stick which
starts RC.
