ok so u need a passowrd to accsess the bios, not good if u dont have the password , just a quick note you dont have a floppy or cd inserted ? that can cause this problem , the laptop may have been bumbed alittle to hard and damaged the hard drive , can also be caused from not shutting the laptop down properly , you may need to reinstall xp , you can also try removing the hard drive and putting it back in nice and secure , the hard drive slot will be located at the bottom of the laptop or on the side,

- recovery disk you will need to fix , the password for the bios you may need , so you can set boot from cd rom first, but u said you can press ctrl alt delete and it takes you to boot sequence so you will need to select cd rom first , if ur gonna reinstall xp , if you have recovery cd or xp cd, you should be ok to reinstall xp without bios password, if you dont have a xp cd or recovery cd , your gonna need to get one
I had to use the recovery console on the xp disk to run "fixmbr" to fix my corrupted master boot record. the mbr is the file that tells the computer where the rest of the instructions are. without the mbr, it doesn't know where to go for the next instruction, which would be from your operating system.
there is another option which fixes faulty bootup instructions.
