That does sound like a pain. Well, luckily I was able to fix it without getting a new hard drive (as posted here: http://phail.net/2008/04/13/bootcampsp1-white-screen-of-death-a-solution/). That's great that you got everything working again. I think Apple should try and make more of an effort to prevent people like us from trying an SP1 disc! :) (Maybe disable install if it detects an SP1 or non-SP2 disc?) Ouch!

Once I fired up the XP SP1 install, I couldn't find the partition I had alloted, so I decided to exit. Same exact thing as what happened to you. I had to take my 24" iMac into the Apple store where they ordered me a new HD. They tried to migrate my data but the partition was totally corrupt on my old HD. So, I asked for it back, hooked it up to an external enclosure, and now, as we speak, I'm running a data recovery utility and getting the data back. Don't worry, all isn't lost, you're data is recoverable, but you'll have to get your internal HD replaced. What a pain! I did the EXACT same thing.
