Sounds like you have a Windows exclusive CD. It will not work on Mac OS.
If you have a windows install disk, you can install Windows on your Macbook Pro using Boot Camp via the Boot Camp Assistant located in Applications/Utilities. This will require you to restart and select one desired system to boot up in order to use OS X or Windows.

Alternatively you could run Windows and Mac OS simultaneously with a program such as parallels.

The system is trying to boot from the C drive i,e, the HDD, you need to continue after formatting from the CD/DVD.

Presumable it initially booted from the disk and you went through the procedure wizard of telling the computer to install a fresh copy of the operating system deleting any existing operating systems, and you didn't ask it to partition the disk and retain the OS that was originally on the HDD.

After formatting it should continue to install the OS on the drive you specified from the CD/DVD disk.

Start again you have nothing to lose as the HDD is now formatted and all previous information is lost, but this time read the screens that come up carefully.

One final point you did put the disk in then power up the computer didn't you????? not put the disk in and try and re install.

The computer has to be booted from the disk.

PREPARE HARD DRIVE
1. You would need to prepare the drive for installation of Windows (seeing that it is brand new)

2. It should have come with a CD, put the CD in the drive boot up and follow the process

If u tell me the Model of the Toshiba HD I can find instructions for preparing the drive for you.

INSTALL WINDOWS
- Once the Drive is prepared (meaning u have created a logical partition) THEN

- Put the Windows CD in the drive, boot the PC and follow the instructions:

Open My computer on your PC and double click on your CD rom drive and run setup or install from there.

1. Make a full backup of your data on cd/dvd, an other hard disk or whatever you have.

2. If you have recevery disks, put the first one into the drive, turn off the power and restart. Press spacebar to boot from cd when asked for. Follow instructions.

3. If you dont have recovery CDs, use your Windows installation disk and follow the rest of procedure #2. You should choose to delete all partition then install on empty space.

Try to re-install the drivers for the drive.
Hope this helps!

If a window doesn't automatically open when you insert the cd you can click on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop then click on your cd drive. If you still don't see anything it is possible that there is nothing on the cd. If you right click on your cd drive icon and click properties it will tell you if how much used space is on the cd. If all the space is free space then the cd is still blank.

Open My Computer, Right click on the CD drive icon and click Explore.
When the folder opens look for a icon usually called Setup, or Install, or something similar. May be PSP Setup.
Click it or Double click it and follow instructions.
