slight problem after formatting hd?

[SIRCOOKS]

i just formatted my hd, and during this process everything went well, except when i was finished, and the computer was at the windows xp page witht the little blue bars scrolling across the page, it went no further. i evennoticed that my monitor went from a green light to a yellow light almost indicating as if the comp was off, but the comp was infact still powered on. Itried restarting it, and it still didn't work, i tried waiting on the page, and that was of no avail...can some one recommend something for me to do

If I had a fresh install that was already botched the first thing I would try is a reinstall.

Maybe it is looking for a driver that existed on your drive that you formated. Try powering up in safe mode, and examine the drivers that XP is trying to load.
