Serious computer issue!?

Hi,

My clients computer wz full of viruses so i decided to format and reinstall xp home. After formatting the hard disk, the computer restarts to start the setup right? But when it restarts, i cannot boot from the hard disk in order to trigger the setup coz this is what it says: -

error loading operating system.

I did some research on the net and i found this article: - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326676

The above article tells me that i will have to update my clients bios but the problem is that my client bought his pc from 'TINY' and that company has now closed down.

So, the question is that what should i do now?

The bios is of 'GE fx 5200 vga bios'.

Plz reply asap

Thanks.

Well for one, if you are using a CD to install Windows, then booting from the Hard Drive isn't gonna do anything for you.. You need to set your boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from IDE/cdrom device.. For another if you were trying to reinstall from the hard drive (copy contents of cd to hard drive and launch inside of Windows) then let me know how you deleted your primary boot partition, you cant Windows wont let you.. You have some confusion going on there, gl.
