    The solutions in the previous this are reliable, in the event that they do no longer artwork, attempt this. Win XP won't load in DOS, in case you formatted your harddrive it is now a DOScontinual, and XP won't see it as a achievablecontinual to load on. Run fdisk, in case you formatted yourcontinual this is going to teach as a DOS partition. you need to eliminate thecontinual, which eliminates the DOS, eliminate the startup disk, positioned the XP setup cd in, and reboot. Setup will now discover thecontinual, and could format it as component to the setup technique. DON"T reformat it your self. it continually works for me.
