win xp installation problem

I have 2 partitions. I recently tried to make a fresh install of Win XP Pro on my c drive. I boot my pc with the cp and the CUI installations starts. This part of the installation works fine. But when the system tries to reboot and go into the GUI installation it gives an error "Missing operating system". Is it an installation problem or am I doing something wrong.

Secondly I have read about fdisk/mbr option but Im not sure if it will erase my data which is on the second partition.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention that I have Windows Me on my c: drive. Is there a problem to make a fresh install over Windows Me.
