I wanted to install a hard drive but it needs to be
reformatted. I try to start up my computer with a XP
installed hard drive and my other unformatted one, but it
asked me to put in a boot disk to start up. What should
I do?
 
I, myself, would try the things mentioned in P Mossels
reply.

I would also have put a bit more information in your
original question, e.g. Details of the HDD etc.

I can't remember for sure, but I think that Western
Digital HDD's have two jumpers to set, (Perhaps one
for "Master/slave", and one for if the drive is the only
one on that particular ribbon cable).

Also, have you run the appropriate utility from the HDD
manufacturers website?

Good luck !!!
