Windows XP setup is a two stage process.
The *first* stage boots from the XP CD where you begin the installation.
After the first reboot, the *second* stage continues the installation from
what has already been written to the hard drive. If you had to go into the
bios to make your computer boot from the CD, after the first reboot you will
have to go back into the bios to make your computer boot from the hard
drive. Even though you are booting from the hard drive at this point, you
still have to leave the CD in the tray until the setup has been completed.
Setup still pulls from the CD occasionally, even though you have now booted
from the hard drive.
If you initially entered setup by pressing the space bar to boot from the
CD, after the first reboot - DON'T press the space bar.
