Sounds like the XP install media does not support your onboard disk controller. Visit the motherboard manufacturer's website and see if they have a driver that will fit on a floppy.
If not you will have to slip stream the drivers in.

If you deleted the HARD Disk and a standard restore CD will not work chances are good you will need what is called a SYSTEM DISC. This was used on previous operating Systems that users deleted the operating system on or re-formated there system.
I suggest the use of unfamiliar software as well as user error may very well require a trip to the computer hospital.
You see it is really hard to diagnose a problem like this when we really don't know what you really did.

R U sure that you put the correct setting for your hard:
Drive C: should be active.
All drives should be formate with NTFS or FAT
The above steps so important
