I've just installed a new hard drive and attemping to install XP media center
sp2. I have only received the incert disk 2 once, enter and it continues to
ask for the same. Otherwise it just continuosly loops through set up reboot
and start all over again.

"Insert Disk 2" indicates something other than a standard Windows XP
installation media... Sounds more like some recovery/restoration set from
some OEM. In other words - you need to get in touch with the original
equipment manufacturer for support with their method of restoring the
computer to the 'as purchased' state when you have changed equipment.

If it was a true windows installation set - there would be no 'disk 2' to
insert. ;-)
 
For some reason it seems your cd drive isn't reading the second disk, any
scratches or finger prints on it?
