Having replaced my failed hard disk and re-formatted it,I
now cannot boot from the floppy of any other drive no
matter which sequence i chose. I get the error
message "invalid system disk, replace the disk and then
press any key". no matter what i do the sam emessage
returns and I cannot use the laptop. Any idea what has
gone wrong and how I can repair it?

Presumably you wish to re-install WinXP. The trick is
to set the BIOS to boot from your CD drive, then boot
up with your WinXP CD.
