If I have OS issues again, I think I'm going to nuke the whole thing and give Linux another shot.

I am by no means a Windows expert, but I would guess that you might have more success with an SP3 version, which was released in 2008. SP1 was released in 2001!! Also, are you trying to install XP on a computer that previously had Windows 8 on it??

You could also do what I'm doing, bypassing the SSD, and putting XP Pro on a separate primary partition on your regular HDD.
