You can install XP as many times as you like.

Michael;
There is no limit to the number of installations as long as it is
installed on only one computer at a time.
Your EULA has the details:
Start/Run
Type "winver" ENTER
Click "End User License Agreement"

A Repair Installation is normally required to properly detect the new
hardware after a motherboard replacement:

As long as it is the retail version, as many times as you want on one
computer at a time. OEM versions have some restrictions.
