Some how my Windows HD took a crap on itself. I completely erased everything using DBAN (http://dban.sourceforge.net/). And i went to install windows on that same HD and i get this screen that says that

"no WIndows OS found, i need to verify im a windows user by putting in some old and ancient windows OS disk."

Any help would be appreciated.

That means you are using an upgrade disc to do the install. If you have a previous version of Windows on a CD, insert it, let the install routine detect it, and it will prompt you for your XP disc again and continue with the install.
