I don't think you can get a previous restore back, but I'm not sure.

Have you tried running the Windows XP Setup in the boot menu? It sounds to me like the setup isn't complete yet, so I would try restarting and running the Setup when it asks what operating system you want to run. After the setup is complete, it should just go straight to Windows XP.
