    I would suggest to do a repair installation of windows to hopefully prevent that from happening, hopefully this would allow windows to boot from the hard drive without the cd in the drive.

    First check over info below to see if you followed these instructions when installing

    To do a repair installation, info below
    Repair Installation
    A Repair Install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used for the Repair Install. It will leave your applications and settings intact, but Windows updates will need to be reapplied.
