My condolences on having to run an OS that is 10 years old
and hasn't been supported by its vendor for over 3 years.

Immaterial.

The "upgrade" disk contains all the necessary files,
you just have to get past the stupid M$ licencing restrictions.[1]
After the drive is format'd, at the DOS prompt, type
MD C:\NTLDR {Enter}
Now, try installing again.
[1] You wouldn't have to bother with that licencing nonsense
if you just got a Free Software operating system like Linux Mint.
The latest version of Linux Mint is less than 6 months old.
Did I mention that Linux is FREE?
It also **comes** with all the apps you need
(unless you're planning on running something REALLY specialized).
