After a fresh format (no matter whichever OS you would have used for the same), when you are all set and ready to reinstall your PC using your Windows XP bootable disk, suddenly after the installation of the files when you receive a message like "Missing Operating System", you don't know what actually happened and what the hell is going wrong with your PC, don't panic, you can either follow the steps shown by Microsoft itself http://support.microsoft.com/kb/134708 or if you are not worried about the data or you have backed up all your data then you can follow my steps : -
1. Insert the Windows XP Cd and press any key when the system shows "Press any key to boot from the CD..", Now you will enter the setup wizard.
2. Press Enter when being prompted to install a fresh copy of Windows XP, now it might detect some more version of the same but you have to proceed for the setup of a fresh copy only.
3. On reaching the screen where all your partitions of the hard disk are being listed, delete the partition on which you want to install Windows, now re-create it by pressing "C or c" and press enter to install it, it will ask you about 4 options to fromat in, format it (whichever format you desire).
4. Start the installation by pressing enter and there you go with your new installed Windows XP again!!!
If you are still in trouble, just leave a comment in the same post.
