recovery console help

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

need to install recovery console so i can remove lilo by running fixmbr.
then i would upgrade to vista. mCan't do it fro /i386 folder since it says
xp sp2 is newer. Tried 2 methods in kowledge base but they didn't work
either. Would this work though: I have a latop with xp sp2 on it. from the
cmd prompt on the desktop pc could i point it to the laptops /386 directory
to get to cmdcon that way (install it from the laptop to the desktop)?
