Install XP on HP

[Tom]

I had the NTLDR is missing error on my HP Pavilion 522c.
HP system recovery failed and I reformatted the disk. I
removed the OEM OS and tried to install WinXP Pro SP1 and
the i got the error: Invalid System Disk... HP says I
neet to get their recovery disks to install an OS because
WinXP does not have the drivers for my system. Is there
a way to install the proper drivers so that I can install
XP on the system? Or is what HP told me a bunch of crap
and should I be able to at least boot into the OS? The
motherboard is a MSI MS-6367 w/ 768 MB RAM, Athlon XP
2000+, etc...

This error is generated at times when I floppy is in the drive.

Thanks for the tip and I dont mean to sound like a smart-
ass but I am not that dumb. I am not even booting from a
floppy. there is no floppy in the drive. It is a
bootable cd

No problem, just thought I'd mention it. <w> Good luck!
