New Installation Problem

[Guest]

After installing Windows XP Professional my system will not start up without
giving me a Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter. It starts
up fine after doing this. I have recently installed SP2 and I can no longer
reinstall from my original disk although I can still boot from it when
needed. Can anybody help?

Are you saying that you installed Windows XP from a CD (Windows XP or
Windows XP SP1?) and it functioned fine until you installed SP2 then it
failed?

most likely you have a problem with your ACR path in you boot.ini
