My OS CD is a slipstreamed version of XP with SP2. That's the strange thing all the files should be present on the CD. A quick Google reveals I'm not the only person to have had this problem though.

I found today that I am able to boot to XP as long as I leave the disk in the drive which is no biggie and has allowed me to check that I had everything I needed backed up. I will just bite the bullet and reformat. It's probably about time it was done for housekeeping reasons anyway, it's been a couple of years. Is a strange problem though none the less.

I have also solved the problem with the other DVD drive not functioning properly too so it looks like the only issues I have now are software related.
