Cancel Win XP Pro installation

[Guest ADB]

I am trying to cancel an installation of Windows XP Pro. I discovered that I

am using the wrong disc (installed on another machine) and want to install

Windows Home. However the machine is putting me thru hell by not allowing me

to cancel the installation, it simply keeps cycling to the point where it

asks for the product key over and over. Removing the disc generates an error

that causes a reboot that asks for the disc and then goes thru install again

and is in an infinite friggin loop.

I am completely fed up. How can I stop this?

Set the Boot Order to boot from CD/DVD drive 1st(you should have that already

done if installing XP Pro), insert Home disk, reboot, load files, delete

whatever partition you have already set up, set up your new partition, format

it, install the Home OS.
