Messed up PC

Hello, Some while ago I used EasyBCD to configure Win 7 and Win Xp on the same hard drive. Later I removed XP by simply deleting it’s partition. The only difference seemed to be that Win 7 still came up as on option and I had to key [Enter] to initiate startup. I now wish to reinstall XP but find I can no longer access the Bios to set the dvd player as the primary boot device. I can start the installation by pressing F11 and selecting the dvd drive but at some point the installation does a restart and it crashes. The only way I can restart Win 7 is to insert the original installation disk and do a repair. I will be grateful for any help.
