I recently did a clean install of Windows XP, because my old Windows
XP was unstable. The installations seems to have been successful, but
... I can only boot the computer with the Windows XP Recovery CD in
the drive.
If I try to boot without the CD in the drive, I get an error message
that says
DISK BOOT FAILURE
INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Now, I know how to change the BIOS so that it should boot from the
hard drive, and not the CD ROM. When I make this change, so that it is
supposed to boot from the hard drive, I get the above error message
regardless of whether or not the disk is in the drive.
How do I fix this?

Run diskmgmt.msc via the Run box, then make sure that your
system partition is marked as active.
