XP installation problem

[thefullcollapse]

i have recently installed xp onmy computer, i had it running and i installed various drivers etc etc.
but i restarted it and now the computer wont boot windows.
it comes up with a message saying
"disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter"
i have tried inserting the windows xp dist but the same message comes up.

any ideas as what i need to do to fix it


cheers

well theres no floppy in the drive, the HD is at the top of the boot list (the hd with xp on it)

i have had this pc working fine for a year, i have just recently formatted and there was no need to download extra drivers before.

i reformatted again today and i still have the problem
