You are going to have to startup the computer again, using your WinXP cd and
continue with the installation you started. Make sure, when you are prompted
to "Press any key to boot to CD...", you press any key to restart the
installation.

IF you are NOT prompted to boot to the CD, you need to go into your BIOS an
set the boot order to: CD ROM, floppy drive and the hard drive and try
again.

You will have to create and format a partition (NTFS preferred) on the
unpartitioned space, in order to proceed with the installation.
