Cannot Start Windows XP

I ran ghost 2003 from windows to make a copy of my C drive but when it rebooted to start ghost in dos the pc hangs on the 1. Start ghost 2003 /2. Boot windows from hard drive menu. I tried to enter 1  or 2 but there is no response. I cannot get into safe mode with the f8 and when I tried the f5 to by pass the startup all I get is the "C" prompt.

How can I bypass this ghost menu to get me back into windows? I can use the dos copy of ghost to put back a older version of my backup but would like to save my current "C" drive.

My version of windows is XP pro service pack 2.
