Power shut off during XP setup

Comment:

I have been trying for several hours now to set up Ubuntu and XP as a dual boot on my Compaq v6000 laptop. During XP setup, out of frustration- I know I know I'm an idiot- I shut the power off. The computer will now not boot, from the hard drive (which was in the process of having windows set up on it) OR the CD drive. It just goes to a black screen. What should I do?

Possible overheating?
