Have you tried resetting the bios first? I’ve had problems with XP sp2 on one mine I use for recording TV video were sometimes it would tell me it couldn’t run with the advanced settings, so I just restarted it and it functions. Have you tried to do a repair instead of a reinstall? I am taking it on faith that Microsoft hasn’t done the "timeout" OS because they want everyone off of XP and on Windows 7, that just isn’t good business.
