getting out of safemode

Well, i pulled a genius and inadvertanely started the
setup to repair an exisiting version fo XP while in
safemode and for the life of me can't figure out how to
get it back into normal mode (repair can't finish until it
gets put back into normal mode) and i can't get to the
command line to run msconfig to turn off safemode...
suggestions??? please
thx apg

Have you tried pressing F8 during boot to bring up the startup option menu?
Choose Normal Boot ...
