Ok, here is the situation. Last night, I formatted my hard drives, and re-installed windows xp pro. Went in, everything worked fine within the operating system. I formatted my other drives, and finished making all the partitions. Restart my computer, and I am greeted by a nice message.
'PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT'
So I figure, maybe something updated within the background *because I had installed systemworks before I rebooted*, and I pressed enter to reboot. Computer starts again, and it shows the message again. I am not even able to get to the windows boot screen. So, I put in my windows cd, and started my computer. It goes into windows fine. Take the cd out, and I get the message again. So, I went into the windows recovery console, and repaired the boot loader, and my MBR. Still does it, unless I have the win cd in. Any recommendations?
