    reinstall the windows, go back to mac osX and repartition drive..try again, something must have gone wrong with your installation

    Press&Hold the alt/option key after pressing the power button. Select your OS X partition. You should now be Log on to your OS X partition.

    Repartition your drive with Boot Camp or the disk utility. Try to use another XP Licensed installer, the disc might be the cause of error installation.

    Same thing happens to me before then I use another Windows OS dvd/cd installer, after that a fine installation process for my Windows partition.
