The Problem:

My friend was installing SP2 on his desktop, his mom turns off the computer before it restarts itself, my friend was away from the pc. He turned it on and now when it gets to the windows loading screen the computer restarts itself. He doesnt have any system recovery discs. Cant log into safe mode. Please Help.

The problem is SP2.

Usually a new SP release is really buggy.

The problem is we cant get out of DOS when you first turn your PC on. It wont even load the login screen.

your going to have to get eh windows disk, and run a repair install or reformat reinstall, aslong as you can come up with any XP(home or pro depending on what he had) disk you can use his key.
