Is he using DOSBox?
If not, tell him he won't be able to play Tie Fighter on WinXP unless he use a Boot Disk.
The problem as I see it is that CD-Rom drivers must be loaded in DOS so DOS recognize the CD-rom itself. Windows might be able to work with the CD-rom fine, but then the game, which is made to be played in DOS, try to access the CD-rom with the old DOS method. Which will never work unless the drivers are loaded in memory.
If he's using DOSBox then there is probably a way to do this like FreeFreddy just said.
