Another thought, if you cannot get into the BIOS (has already been stated there are many different ways of doing so dependant upon manufacturer DEL, F10, F2, etc.) you could initiate the process of installing windows whilst you are already logged into the sytem and use the advanced install options to carry out a new installation.

This process will automatically boot into setup and you simply select your preferred options. Just one though though, this will only work if you have an original windows XP operating system disc and not one of those restore CD's that are so popular these days.

You will need to modify the boot.ini file first
