that isn't what it meant. it was referring to any disk or media with a boot loader, since it can't find one on your cdrom/floppy/hard drive.

i'd recommend two things... open BIOS setup, and try to set the highest device in the "boot order" or "boot priority" menu to your hard disk, instead of your cdrom drive. if the problem still happens, try and find your windows xp cd, boot to it, open the Recovery Console, and type "fixboot" and "fixmbr"

How exactly do I open this BIOS setup? [/noob :(]


Usually F2, but also try F1 :)
