Hi. I accidentally started redownloading xp while I was in safe mode. While updating xp it came to please reboot your computer to finish reinstalling xp. Well when I booted, blue xp screen came up and said setup is being restarted. Then it goes black screen "safe mode" in all four corners. Then message comes up Windows XP setup cannot run under Safemode. Setup will restart now. Then there's a OK button under it, I click it but because PC is in safemode, this problem keeps coming up. I tried changing the boot sequence to cd rom first, but message comes up strike F1 TO RETRY BOOT, F2 FOR SETUP UTILITY, THIS IS THE ONLY OPTIONS. I ALSO TRIED STRIKING F8 WHICH BRINGS ME TO WINDOWS ADVANCED OPTIONS MENU. BUT NOTHING IN HERE HELPED. HOW CAN I REMOVE SAFE MODE SO I CAN GET TO WINDOWS?

Well you have basically stuffed it up.
To fix you'll need to boot to the XP CD and reinstall from there.

It will not let me boot from the xp cd. I changed the boot sequence to cd rom 1st boot sequence. Message comes up strike F1 to retry boot or F2 to go to setup bios. Only options it gives me.
