Error Loading Operating System After Install

[Guest]

i haven't been able to get windows xp to load after the first restart of the installation, every time i format and install the OS after the files are copied it goes to the first restart, and when my system reboots an error message comes up saying - error loading operating system - i first originally thought something was wrong with the hard drive but i did a low level format, and tested it and everything was fine, any help would be greatly appreciate

thanks
