For starters, there's no way an image of your C-Drive will fit onto a CD. 
XP is way too big.

It's a forlorn thought, and a bit wacky, but try putting a blank DVD disk 
into the burner and then rebooting.  It might be just enough to trigger an 
error message in Ghost, which is probably chasing its own tail trying to 
achieve the impossible task you've set it. Maybe you might get an error 
message that will give you an option to cancel or abort, thus releasing Ghost.

Try booting into Safe Mode (hold down F8) so that you can run System 
Restore.  Otherwise, you'll need an emergency startup disk such as BartPE 
and run System Restore from that, or a registry restoration if you have any 
registry backups.
