I installed xp on my macbook pro through bootcamp, and it worked for a while, but then it crashed. I want to reinstall it. All I have is the original xp disk, I don't know if I need a special reinstallation disk. Also wanted to know if I should erase the xp partition through bootcamp and basically start over, or if I should just boot up the macbook with the xp disk inside and have the macbook start from the disk? Is there a going to be a problem reinstalling xp if I already registered it?
thanks a lot

Just run Boot Camp utility and start again, without partitioning your HD again.
I think that's what I did when my Windows partitioning broke. -
So you can't boot Windows at all? Have you tried restoring your Windows partition using Safe Mode? You can also check your disk for problems.
If you want to completely start over, then just do what M@lew said. What version of Boot Camp are you using? The latest version is Beta v1.4, so you may want to update. The instructions to Remove Windows are included in the Installation & Setup Guide (PDF):
In case you encounter any trouble, here is the Boot Camp Beta Frequently Asked Questions.
