Everytime i put it back in the laptop, I always get the "Missing Operating System" error. Any ideas how to get around this little problem? Thanks in advance.

For those getting the "Missing Operating System" or "No Operating System" like me, I went into the Bios and noticed that under Hard Drive, it had [none] so I changed it to have a HD. I don't know if when you take out the HD and put it back in again that it doesn't autodetect the HD or what. But after this, I was able to load into DOS and begin installation of XP. This guide worked perfectly for me, other than this one problem I ran into. I have Fujitsu Lifebook b2630.
