Reset the BIOS to boot from the hard drive - it sounds like it is set to boot from the CD first.

Did you change the BIOS configuration that tells your comp to boot from HDD. Comp seems to be set to boot from the disc/cd. make sure that the comp is set to boot from the HDD. Some computer displays a dialog that says press any key to boot from disc/cd. if this appears (after format and restart) ignore it and comp will boot from HDD, thus allowing setup to continue.

are u press any key when it gives the reference, if u are it will start over a hundred times if u hit it that many times.
