 Sure

 At the bottom of the page, you'll see the installer for XP.
 Install, then right click on any file, look at "properties",
then "file hashes".
 If you right click inside that window, you can choose the ones
you want displayed (I use MD5, SHA1 and SHA256) in "settings".

 The more recent ISO will have different hashes, but the ones
above will probably match the one you downloaded.

 When you boot from the Rescue Disk, you are booting into
Linux. Which is good, because you can scan for rootkits which might be
hidden if you scanned from a running Windows system.

 Probably because you didn't scan your whole hard drive (look
at the scan settings). By default, Kaspersky Rescue Disk only looks at
boot sectors, system files and your startup programs. It might look at
browser extensions, and programs listed in prefetch too, but I'm not
sure. That only takes a few minutes. Ah, and it checks your hosts
file, and it said mine was "infected". False positive.
 To scan a million files, it took just over an hour, but I have
an 8 core CPU. On my old PC, I'd leave it scanning overnight.

The old version did.
