so u want me do delete that the partition and use my
recovery disk like you said?????????????????

Yes!

It's not a question of what I want you to do, it appears you have no other
options because XP setup stops and you have no setup to which to return or
it is been hosed by the problems with XP setup.

Just be aware you will lose everything on the partition.
