By formatting your HDD, it is now empty and not bootable. I mean, what do you expect the hard disk to boot to if you have no data on it? You have to boot from your CD/DVD-ROM drive by either choosing the optical drive as the first boot device in the BIOS or if you motherboard supports the feature you can press F9 during the POST process to get a boot menu and choose the CD/DVD rom drive from the list.
The copy of Windows you burned also has to be a bootable image file.
On a side note, I'm rather curious as to why so many people tend to suggest solutions to worst case scenario first so often on these boards.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
