Cannot boot computer after formatting hard drive

Hello,

I have a Dell Dimension v400c that came with Win98. I formatted the hard drive thinking I was able to reboot the computer and install Win2000 without much difficulty. Yet, upon starting up I am asked for a system disk which I do not have.

How can I obtain this system disk?

Thank you.

Can you boot from CD? If not, download an images of the boot floppies from http://www.bootdisk.com
Your Windows 200 CD is a bootalbe one?
And Please go to BIOS and try whether your harddisk is detected by BIOS or not. If it not try to tide your hard disk.
