I hope I'm still able to install XP

I'm building my own PC, after I got all the hardware
together, I installed XP. It seemed to take a long time.
I realized that I didn't install the Seagate driver for
the hard drive, so I went into Bios and had the PC boot
from the CD drive and installed and reformatted the hard
drive. Now I can't reinstall XP. I get this error
message, "RegOpenKeyEx(SYSTEM\Setup\Pid)returned error2
(2)." Perhaps I was supposed to use the Seagate CD in
windows? I think I'm screwed. Please advise, anyone?
