What it sounds like you'll have to do is just completly format the partition, and install windows in the fresh space. Do this as follows:
-Make sure the "Operating System (Reinstalling CD Microsoft Windows XP)" CD is in the drive, and restart the computer.
-When the message comes up, press any key to boot from the CD.
-Once it all loads, it Enter to set up Windows XP now.
-Hit F8 to agree with the terms.
-Press Escape to not perform a repair.
You should now be at a list of the partitions you have on your computer, which is most likely only one. Make sure that one is highlighted (probably the C drive).
-Hit D to delete the partition.
Once it's deleted, that space is completly empty, and should read "Unpartitioned space). Now you can proceed installing a fresh copy of windows in that space. Hope this helped!

OK, this SOUNDS like corrupted registry and it is repairable.
It is unclear from your first post---in some ways, it sounds like you have a recovery cd, and in some ways it sounds like you have a windows cd.
It does sound like you can get into the recover console, though,
Print and follow the instructions on this page.

oi the problem with this one You should now be at a list of the partitions you have on your computer, which is most likely only one. Make sure that one is highlighted (probably the C drive).
-Hit D to delete the partition.
Once it's deleted, that space is completly empty, and should read "Unpartitioned space). Now you can proceed installing a fresh copy of windows in that space. Hope this helped!
