Completely clean the HD with something other than the XP install disk. (zero fill, aef disk, etc.) Then reinstall XP and you should be good to go. Plus it would not hurt to check the HD health.Just installed windows xp pro sp3 on a linux comp problems?
I would just reinstall XP but make sure you format the whole drive before installing.
