Can't boot up WinXP

[Wheeler]

I'm getting a blue screen whenever I boot up, after it says loading Windows Xp, it says stop - fatal system error, then a bunch of stuff. There is nothing I can type in or do once I get the blue screen. So someone told me to boot off the winxp cd and try to restore. Well I put the cd in, and I still get the blue screen, there is nothing I can do. I don't have a floppy disk to boot off if thats even possible in XP. Is there anyway to reinstall XP, or fdisk the drive and start all over without haveing a floppy disk?
Thanks for any help, I'm desparate.

Check the boot order in your BIOS, you might have to change it so your primary boot device is your CD rom, then your HD. Then you should be able to boot off the CD and go into restore or do a reinstall. It'll give you a few options.
