    Erased Hard Drive
    I have recently wiped clean my computer and formatted c drive. I also have c drive set as the active partition. I do not have a floppy drive. When I restarted my computer, the only thing that comes up is to "press a key to boot to floppy disk". What can I do?

    Well, what do you want to do? Regardless, to do anything, first a boot source and boot media will be needed. You will either need to add a floppy drive to the system (perhaps USB) and use a bootable floppy disk, such as a DOS or Win9x boot floppy to achieve a usable command prompt or enter BIOS setup and select another device such as a CD-Rom drive into the boot order and then use bootable optical media such as a Windows Setup disc or a downloaded and burned Linux distribution disc like Ubuntu.

    The world's your oyster. If Microsoft isn't where you want to go today, you no longer have to.
