I tried removing the CD but then it says it can not find windows on any
drive. I formatted the HD with NTFS.

Newer versions of Windows aren't meant to have problems with this,=20
but try removing the CD and any floppy disks immediately after=20
rebooting. After restarting, if the Windows installation needs data=20
from the CD, it will prompt you to re-insert it.

If you continue to have problems, let us know how you formatted the=20
HD, and if you made it NTFS or FAT32.
