this is the order of boot devices in my bios,CD ROM ,HARD DRIVE and the rest are disabled.

Are you using IDE or SATA hard drive?
I assume that windows found your hard drive when it restartes 2 - 3 times during instalation.
Start by changing your bios back to HD ist boot, CD 2nd

Have you changed the boot to HD 1st, if so, have you tried to start in safe mode? If it still wont work you might try starting the installing windows again and at the window where it finds your previous version do you want to repair, press "R" and see if that works.
