It's just a set of boot instructions for NT based OSes (like Windows XP). Chances are there was some kind of an error during installation. Boot from the Windows XP CD and resume the installation. It might be necessary to reinstall it all together or you can try selecting the repair Windows installation option if there is one.

Good luck.
