do you mean to say that you formatted your hdd and now it wont reboot.if this is correct it wont reboot because there is no longer an operating system there to boot to.you need to reinstall the os.if you have the install dvd you have to boot to the bios and choose dvd as the boot device.then insert your disk and install windows.if this is not your situation please clarify.
