Go into your BIOS and then into the Advanced BIOS Features menu, set the first boot device to HDD0, make sure that LAN is not the second or third boot device (this is why the nVidia PXE agent is coming up), and disable Boot Other Device. See if that fixes it.

boot from cd:


nvidia boot agent, pxe-2.0 (build 082 v1.82)

pxe-e61: media test failure, check cable
pxe-mof: exiting nvidia boot agent.
disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter
 
It could be your MBR was messed up when you did a low level format. There is a command to fix this in windows xp (and i forget what it is, it think its fdisk /mbr ???) . It could also be that the bios is not recognizing the drive correctly, make sure you have everything set to auto-detect. Usualy when you re-partition it fixes the mbr also, but it will not change the mbr when you format...
 
started getting this before format

Event viewer in Administrative Tools and go to your systemroot directory. Minidump or memory.dmp will should have the information you need.
