How do I restore when CD and floppy reboot doesnt work?

Used my PC before I went to bed. When I got up, the screen was on the Blue and white screen asking me to go to F9 for menu or F10 for setup. I have gone to both and keep getting back to the same screen. The floppy restore disks nor the XP reboot CD work.I cant get into safe mode or anything past the blue and white screen.

Update:

It is a generic based on HP. It will not accept any keys except F9 and F10

    **When you restart computer it will display the KEY information to start System Recovery

Very stressful to expain, yet all BIOS are distinctive.

    ouch. looks like you might have to take it to a technician if you reallly need whatever's on it back. otherwise just format it and reinstall windows and check the hard drive for problems.
