Question DISK BOOT ERROR after fresh XP Install?!?

Ok the problem is just like it is stated in the Title. I am getting the DISK BOOT ERROR SCREEN - INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. I have already reinstalled windows on same partition clearing it and replacing the old one with the fresh install. I have got everything running just fine, the problem is that if I do not have my windows disk in during boot up, the same DISK BOOT ERROR occurs.

Like I said everything starts up just fine if I have the windows cd in, but if I dont I will get the DISK BOOT ERROR message while in boot up process.

How do I solve this problem...


In best regards,
Josh

I think you need to enter BIOS at boot, and change the boot order. The proper HDD needs to be selected.
