    Ok couple of things to try.

    1st of is boot sequence in bios.
    2nd hdd priority in bios
    3rd if your doing a full format, then i would set boot priority to 1st cd/dvd and select correct drive. You also want to delete all partitions on the hdd.

    Ensure hdd is seen in bios.

    Boot into setup of windows/linux and check its seen again, format it and let it instal. If you get the same error once rebooted, its your boot sequence.

    TBH i would be thinking of installing windows xp on a P4 setup.

    Run repair console from xp cd and use command fixmbr to repair master boot record
