After i install windows xp sp2 on a system, i remove the sata dvd-rw from the system, because the user dosent need it, but after removal the windows restarts continuously(loop). again if i connect it back , it starts normally..
 
Test your hardware, something is faulty

What is the reason for the reinstall?

If the system can only run XP its time for a new one because its too old and faulty (or will be), if it can handle Windows 7 or 8 time to move up (after hardware tests)

I have faced this problem on many PCs, some with pata HDD n some with SATA, and yes they r on different channels, this problem does not happen if i load xp with pata ODDs, the reason still some of my clients use xp is that there jobs r not so hardware demanding like data entry, BPOs, etc., n so with low hardware resource (1gb,80gb,2.66) i have to install xp..
