I bought a used IBM T23 Laptop recently. PIII 1.13 Ghz, 512 RAM, 30 GB.

I installed Windows XP SP2 on it when I first got it. After that I installed Microsoft Office 2003, codecs, and other useful stuff. I shut it down for the day. When I turn it back on it gives me the message "Operating System Not Found" at start-up. I put in the Windows XP CD in, choose the repair optoion, it boots into windows. Everything I installed is there and even the file I saved with Microsoft Word is on the Desktop. I shut it off and turn it out again and it gives me the same "No Operating System" message. Any idea on how I can fix this?
