Dynamic Drive Overlay?

I gota laptop for free, but the HD was bad. Well, it was under warrenty so I just called up Compaq, sent it to them, and they put in a new HD taht was twice the size!

COOL! It's a 40GB.

Now, obviously it was shipped to me withut any OS on it. So I popped in my Windows XP disk, booted from it, and began the 1st steps to installing. Once it formatted the HD, copied some files, and rebooted, I get this screen that says

Starting ONTRACK
Dynamic Drive Overlay V9.45
Press Spacebar to boot from diskettte...


and a flashing line...

I don't want to boot from a diskette! I want it to boot from the HD which now has the WinXP setup files on it. If I press spacebar, it access the floppy drive ( which doesn't have any disks in it) and tells me the drive is empty and put a floppy in.

I have tried redoing the windows Installation/format 3 times and it doesn't change.

What is this evil program that won't let me boot my computer?
