did you copy the cd yourself? why did you split the hdd? did you try a fdsik then install xp?

i spilt it because when i reinstall windows i have everything else on the other partition but ya i did copy it myself but ive used this cd a lot of times without this error

-edit everything such as my drivers and programs music etc on the 2nd partition

did you check your boot.ini?

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
