Did you complete the XP Install all the way and then go to reboot and this happened the first time your restarted? If so: Change the boot order in BIOS so that it boots from your HardDrive(s) first and remove your OS install Disk from the CD-Rom Drive.

Try altering the boot order like I suggested.

To enter BIOS you just have to press Del or one of the F Buttons (I am not sure what key it is with Compaq PCs). You are usually prompted with something like "Hit (key) to enter BIOS (System Configuration)".
