Opperating System issues

Hi, this is my first computer so I'd like to say, I'm a noob. With that I'll explain the problem. I started up my system once and it asked for an opperating system disk, so I put my windows xp in and pressed enter, I went and got some water and it asked me to press enter again. For some reason my keyboard didn't work so I tried unpluging it and all that. After no success I just restarted my computer. The little logo came up and it did an IDE scan. After that it updated the DMI pool, I didn't know what was going on, but I waited 30 min and when I came back the screen was still the same, and there was no prompt for windows xp. My question is this, What should I do?

Thanks for reading my comment, I hope my terrible noobishness didn't offend anyone.
Oh and help would be appreciated. Thanks again.
