My friend is having a little problem with his OS [XP] 

My friend is having a problem with his OS [XP]. The problem is that the boot menu has become the F8 menu, and whenever he is choosing 'Start XP normally', the computer is restarting. No success with all the other menu options,including safe mode. I have even tried repairing the os with the xp sp2 cd, but the chkdsk /p command is not showing any errors. So any other way to recover the OS?

Boot using XP Setup CD and enter into Recovery Console and provide following commands:

fixmbr

fixboot

bootcfg /rebuild

It should work.

Yep. There are possibilities that it can work coz sometimes this problem occurs bcoz of corrupt MBR. If it doesnt work then try to repair Windows.
