Anyway not sure if you can do what your after in xp.
Only thing I can think of is type systeminfo in dos which will give you the system up time.

You will be able to see when the eventlog service started and when you find that you know when the machine restarted.

Not really Eventlog goes as deep as it can go.

However I think you can get it to log different types of events
