Aborted Installation

I tried to upgrade the Windows XP Home version on my HP
laptop with an installation disk of Windows XP
Professional. The installation stopped near the end and I
received a message that said something about not being able
to find something it was looking for. I removed the
installation disk, and the problem is that now I can't
access anything else on my computer. Whenever I reboot, I
get the installation screen and the procedure described
above repeats itself.

I cannot exit out of the installation menu or the error pop
up window. I tried using CTRL ALT Delete, but that doesn't
stop the installation from trying to run again. I tried
taking out the battery for awhile in hopes the memory would
somehow drain away.

Suggestions?
 
Finish installation, or just put second hdd as primary and copy your docs or
whatever you need from and format disk.
