I see replies about MS PE, but not XP which was the subject at hand. Am I
missing something here?

Yes.

You saw responses about "Bart PE", not Microsoft Win PE. Different beasts,
similar idea.

Bart PE can use Windows XP as a base or Windows 2003 (maybe it can use other
OSes, but those are the only two I have used in the past.)
The OP stated, ".. WinXP Boot CD that acts just like C: drive, it boots to
the XP desktop." and the only such thing that exists is the Microsoft
Windows PE and Bart PE CDs.. Variations of each not-withstanding. So you
see exactly what the OP asked for.

If the OP doesn't understand how to make a decent Bart PE CD, then they may
want to look here for guidance:

As for the OPs "reluctant" technical support at work - they either think
they have some magical/mystical CD that the OP will never figure out and
that makes their egos three times larger OR they are genuinely afraid what
the OP might do with such power. (The last part is said facetiously.)
