    Did you go into the BIOS and have the CD-ROM as the first boot device in the boot order? Your machine is trying to boot from the harddriv and of course ,it fails since there is nothing on the harddrive right now.

    change the BIOS to boot from a CD ROM as it seems ur hard disk is corrupted.
    try to partition and format the disk and install the new OS.
    • Until the hard disk is set up, boot from a floppy disk/CD ROM instead of the hard disk to start the system.
    • For a new hard disk, remember to partition and format the hard disk.
    • If this type of error is encountered in an existing system, there is a good chance that the disk has become corrupted somehow.
