You can't install Enterprise Edition on WinXP. Use Developer edition

Are you sure that the install completed successfully? Sounds odd if it did because as khtan says WinXP is not supported for this edition. You'll need a server OS to install enterprise edition...

"Something" tells me this guy isn't too worried about licensing...ent. edition on a laptop just doesn't make sense
