An installation cd/dvd is essential in order to repair the start-up disk. The Mac needs a booting platform & this cd/dvd provides exactly the same. One cannot repair the boot partition while initiating the system from it. Thankfully, there are couple of disk repair software such as Stellar Volume Repair and Disk Warrior that provides bootable disk if your installation cd is missing. You can boot from the DVD created by the software and then perform repairment with the help of these partition repair tools.

The best instructions on doing an XP repair install are here http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm You can also get an automated repair done that will preserve your programs and data using Reimage. It costs a little bit but it's well worth the price. The details on Reimage are here http://www.askthecomputerdoc.com/blog/reimage-repair/
