i delete and re-install windows...

i have a compaq computer..

it has the system recovery built into the hard drive so i just restart the computer and i can reinstall it at anytime

so i deleted and reinstalled it.. and it goes through the process fine and all that..

then i get to this compaq countdown screen.. it says when the timer reaches 00:00 u will see a blank screen.. do not shut off comp during the blank screen.. it will only last a moment...

so the timer dosnt even get down to 5 min.... and the black screen comes up.. so im like koo.. it will do its thing... and i let it sit there forrrrever.. and the busy light wasnt active.. so it sat there for like an hour.. and nothing happend.. so i shut off the comp (lol i kno i kno) it started up... it went through its final process and i set up my comp name and all that..

so now my comp wont restart.... it just sits there when it says its shuttin down.... and my busy light isnt active....so i shut it down....by holding my power button.. and it says something about booting this way because the bios had an error.. or something.. i dont remember.. but i re-installed my xp 2 times... and at that compaq screen.. it does the same thing.. turns black b4 5 min on the countdown.. and sits there....

so what do i do?? i have no disc.. no way of getting any disc. just my computer and a last hope... plz help me!! thanks for reading!!
