I suggest you become well aquainted with the multitude of Knoppix Live CD's that are built for Security.   The two off 
the top of my head that I would reccomend are "The Auditor" and "Knoppix-STD".  You should be able to find these with 
your favorite search engine.   

You will not have very much success using Windows XP  sp2 unless your idea of a pen test is telnet 10.1.1.1 80  ..
