boot disc/startup disc

[Armand Gordon agordon998]

In windows98 there use to be a stsrtup disc maker.
In windows hopefully there is a way to do the same
thing.My problem is I cannot restart my xp system because
my grand daughter left a disc in the drive and then re-
started the computer with the disc in it, now I cannot re
start or get into the compuiter to restore the system so
i can use it. all that comes up is restore origanl
desktop, and it will not get past it it only re sets to
the same.? I cannot find my xp disk as of yet but I have
another computer with the same disc set-up. How do i copy
all the info from office computer to home computer.
Thanks Armand
