If nothing is on the hard drive there is nothing to run the computer.

If you boot using a Puppy live CD or USB flash drive, it should work.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Good idea when you partitioned.
In Gparted flag the first partition boot.

There is a better boot loader to use for Puppy.
It has been tweaked for how Puppy works.

Grub4dos

Just get running with a version of Puppy.
Booting with a live Puppy CD or USB is a good way.

Run Grub4dos Bootloader config (Usually found in menu->system)
It will find all operating systems on the computer and make a boot menu.
Just use the default settings as you run it.
Install the boot loader to the MBR of the hard drive.

Reboot with no live Puppy CD or USB.
Should see boot menu with entries for the operating systems on the computer hard drive.

Not sure what exact version of Puppy you may be doing this from and what version of Grub4dos it will have.
If you want the latest version.
You can get it here:

Note:
Grub4dos config always makes a menu entry for Windows, even if it is not there.
You can edit the menu and remove the entry if you like.

I was told if I type xwin it works and it did. Now how do I save that so I don't have to do it every time?

You should not have to do this if the boot loader and boot process is setup correctly.

When you boot.
What boot loader?
You do what?
You see what?

Post the boot menu entry you use.
