After trying to install XP on a machine at home, something happened and we stopped. Now, everytime the machine boots it goes the the windows setup and asks for the disk, which apparently doesn't work now. Is there any way to get rid of this and start from scratch? Thanks

I'm having a problem to access recovery console from a bootable XP CDrom. The "Repair" does not appear as option. Even clicking letter "R" repeatedly does not work. But I'm sure this option was there before. Does anyone know what has caused this issue and how to fix it? Thanks
