From what I've found so far, this issue is a lot more common than I realized. Try searching google for...
"error loading operating system" XP asus ssd
The combined factors that cause this problem seem to be...
1) an Asus motherboard 2) SSD with aligned partition 3) installing windows XP (any flavor)
I found someone talking about gparted, the Gnome Partition Editor. Supposedly it can shift an existing partition to re-align it after the fact. I think the idea is to install XP normally on an un-aligned partition, and then run gparted on it and tell it to move the partition or something. I'm not really sure how it works or what's involved.
