Why did you delete a partition that you just formated ?

I'm assuming that your not using a start disk,that would probably be
normal you have absolutely no operating system on your computer

Please let us know what operating system you want to install,the routine
is different from Win98-Me or Win 2000 - XP
I would suggest surfing to nospin.com they have instructions there for
installing both systems after reading there let us know if you still
need help the instructions there are pretty detailed
