installation loop

[Needshelp]

hello.

I recently ran the operating system reinstallation Cd for Windows XP Home
Edition (which I should NOT have done) After a bit, the
installation stoppped with a Bad_Pool_Caller ~ I got the blue screen ~
the installation never finalized ~ threw me out ~ and now i can't get my
computer to start with anything but yet another attempt to finish this
installation process ~ it is a frustrating groundhog day loop ~ ~ i have
F8'ed it to the advanced startup screen and nothing works there ~ i cant
enter under safe mode ~ it will not go back to a time when all was well ~ i
cant get into the start mode feature (no control panel or uninstall or remove
or system restore functions available) ~ i have F12'ed and F2'ed both to no
avail as far as I can tell (interesting but not helpful, at least to me) ~

how do i stop my computer's obession with installation (which will never end
well, in fact, as evidenced, will never end)

I am willing to set the computer back to factory settings but have not been
able to do so ~ it will not accept F11 ~ and just keeps trying to 'begin
installation' which never completes ~ i CANNOT get out of the loop ~ please
help!

What do you want to do at this junction? Do you want to attempt a PC
Recovery? What kind of computer do you have and does it have a recovery
partition?
