Ooops while installing XP the power turned off


So guys - I can really use your advice/wisdom

I JUST bought a new system and while installing xp - i hit the power
cord..

now when i boot up (even with the cd in the drive) it says
error loading operating system

how do I "start over" i.e. boot from the cd room and get this to work?

Thanks so much and I appreciate any help!
