Which drive is it saying is 'Not Ready'?
Have you got BIOS configured to boot from CD? From floppy? From Hard drive?
You need to tell BIOS Setup where to look for boot up files, as obviously they are gone from your hard drive after you formatted.
You can either boot from your Windows CD or from a 'Startup' floppy disk.
