How can you exit error loading operating system Windows XP?
This is an error in your Operating System (Windows), there is no way to 'exit' this error. You can try fixing the error with a GNU/Linux liveCD or with a recovery console from the Windows system, or you can reinstall your OS (which will likely erase your data and applications). Use a GNU/Linux liveCD to boot into your computer and access your files and copy them to an external drive, flash drive, or network drive, to keep them safe before you reinstall.
