    Once you get the operating system loaded correctly, that error will go away.  Windows is trying to boot off of the network connection because it could find now operating system.

    Click Here for a Step by Step instruction for a Manual Reinstallation of your Operating System
    Manual reinstallation can be the most time consuming and difficult method of those available. You will reinstall the operating system directly from the CD or DVD, install the drivers, configure the OS, install critical and recommended updates, install your applications and, if available, restore backed up data files.

    Does the system BIOS (F2 at powerup) see the hard drive?

    If it does, have you loaded Windows onto the drive?
