Just do a clean install of Windows on the formatted partition.

Reinstall Windows. It seems you deleted the boot-loader.

yes...the bootloader is lost..
first boot using windows XP CD & try to repair the windows partition
if not successful then re-install the windows XP your problem will be solved....

No need to reinstall.

Get your Windows XP installation CD. Boot from it. Go to the Recovery Console option. Select the Windows installation (it will ask) and use the fixmbr command.
