Problems with Start up into Windows XP Home Edition from Five opti

[Guest]

Im having problems accessing my computer after the initial Windows Logging in
scenario is finished. It always seems to go to a screen where it has Five
options for rebooting etc and the reasons that might have caused it to come
to this page. The Five options are Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe
Mode with Command Prompt, Last known good Configuration and Start Windows
Normally. Ive tryed each one and it doesnt work also ive left the computer on
and it goes through the same process of trying to log in and then going to
the screen and not going any further.
When turning on the computer a page flashes on the screen before going to
the Safe mode etc page stating Checking Boot CD Rom then another page flashes
after it Stating No Bootable CD in Atapi CD Rom.
All this happened after i accidentally pulled the power cord out of its
socket and turned the computer off whilst it was online etc.
Please help?

When all else fails you can try a Repair Install. Hopefully you have a WinXP
CD. If so, check here for Instructions

Check your MSCONFIG settings. Especially the boot tab.

Thanks for your assistance but it doesnt seem to go any where near repair
install. It just goes straight to the 5 options mentioned then when its about
to log on a Blue screen with some writing on it flashes quickly across the
screen then the whole process starts again. Is it possible to download a
reboot disk off the net etc.
