Ok. I have followed the detailed instructions, as I have read over the internet on one certain web page. I tried to install windows XP on my own. I have found where is the option to tell the computer to boot from the CD only, and it all went fine, I have made interaction as many times as it was needed and after finish, when I took the CD out from the DVD device, like I did nothing for the whole damn hour! Please insert system disk and press any key to continue….. I can make windows run only with windows XP CD. What have I missed?

I think that you have forgot to return to the start position and to tell the computer to boot from the hard drive, not from CD only, as it seems that all other boot devices (2nd, 3rd and 4th) are not assigned at all in the menu. If there is no CD, there is no boot. Set the hard drive as the primary boot the device again, according to your manual from the internet and you will see progress.
