operating system wont boot

hi guys,
on my computer im using windows xp professional and it wont let me boot it up. i have a partitioned hard disk and for some reason the other day i uninstalled samsung mobile software and i didnt have the choose of multiboooting which i usually did, it just booted to the operating system on the c drive which i do not use, i usually use the operating system on the d drive. i download partition magic and did a stupid thing by setting the d drive from logical to primary so both drives are now primary, which i found out is a big no go as you are only supposed to have one primary drive on a disk. Now because of this i cant boot up any operating system and get the error:

searching for boot record from IDE-0... ok

remove disks or other media
press any key to restart

searching for boot record form floppy... not found
searching for boot record form cd/dvd-0... not found
searching for boot record form cd/dvd-1... not found

any help as to overcome this problem? would i have to re-install the operating system or reformat the drive?

Hello,

Check the Boot order in the BIOS maybe it's noting set rite.

Thanks for the response, i forgot to mention that i changed the bios order, so the harddisk is to load first but still get the same error

Hello,

Try to Repair MBR and see if that fixes it http://www.tippscout.de/repair-and-restore-master-boot-record-mbr_tipp_3114.html

thanks capt jack,

the only problem is i havent got the windows xp disc because i got the computer given to me. So i might look for a cheap xp disc somewhere and try this out!
