Even though I vote for the bootsector.DOS loaded by ntldr solution (the code is definitely really simple and just a few INT 13
calls), there are many solutions as Slobodan mentioned.
In one of "high level" approaches where I did not have a full control of the hardware (could not change partition layout), I had to
go with a quick solution - I just used ntldr to boot another XPe image from the same partition. The second "recovery" image was
loading a set of batch files to *prepare* the main XPe image. Since you are able to change boot.ini through a batch, the entire
procedure is easy to automate (only the procedure initiation is required).
