Default Office XP installed over trial ver 2003

A client installed their Office XP Pro on a new system
which had Office 2003 Trial version already installed on
it. Now the system fails to boot into any mode. They have
inventory data that had just been entered, but had not
yet created backups. Would the previous version install
have created this boot failure? It also seems that they
have been cursed. They can not find their system restore
CD to try a repair. I'm thinking a XP Pro upgrade to
restore funtion then pull the data file then do a fresh
reinstall. Have downloaded the drivers from COMPAQ
already.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Do you receive any error messages when the OS will not boot?

The client says that she sees the XP Home splash screen
then it goes to black screen.
