"Operating System Not Found" or "Missing operating system" error message
when you start your Windows XP-based computer

You can use the Setup floppy set to run the Recovery Console.
How to obtain Windows XP Setup boot disks:

You can verify the active status of the partition with a Windows 98 boot
diskette and the FDISK tool. You can get a W98 boot floppy from
http://www.bootdisk.com/ Download one of the boot disk files and create
a floppy disk.

To use the floppy diskettes you have to go in the BIOS and set the boot
order so that the computer boots to the floppy drive first.
