You can start by providing a LOT more details about exactly what is going on, the system, where you obtained the XP cd, how you are trying to install XP, and when you get that message.

I bought the CD. i boot the syetem from CD-ROM drive with the CD in the drive. AT one point it said it was formating NTFS. Later on , the message of ctrl+alt+del came up. Since tten, each time I boot the system, the message comes.

When did formatting NTFS message occur? During Installation? From what you mentioned I don't believe you installed in correctly.

Reinstall XP and follow the instruction carefully. Be sure to perform complete format prior to installation.
