windows xp home edition

[butch]

i have had disk failure. bought a new disck and am trying to load win xp
onto the the clean new disk. everything seems to go smoothly until it tries
to reboot at which point it takes me back to the install screen with the
message to 1. install, 2 repair, or 3 quit. if i take out the cd and reboot
it does not find the disk. does not boot and tells me it has no disk.

Did you, per chance, "hit any key to boot from the CD" when it rebooted?
If so, don't do that.

you must have installed windows to the wrong hd.
is this a SATA Hard drive?
if so did you install the Sata Drivers at the proper point?
Which Disk did you install windows on?

OOPS, meant to ask what is the brand name of the pc?

Remote: You told the computer to boot from the CD and nothing else.
