Ok, so this seems to be a confrmed problem with Windows
XP home and the professional version. It is related to
the pre-installation of Windows XP. Service Pack One
fixes the issue only if your have the recovery console
installed prior to installing the service. For more
information see

I have to make a phone call now in order to get the
hotfix for my problem. Hope this helps everyone else
having the same trouble I have been having.
