Default NTLDR missing- help

Hi guys,

I've got a new harddrive, which was originally a slave to my 80gb harddrive.
On the new harddrive, when I try to boot from it it says "NTLDR" is missing.
I can't boot from CD. I can't access the Recovery Console.

Does anyone know how I can fix this so that I can install a fresh copy of WinXP on the new harddrive.

Thanks.

I have never had to troubleshoot it but Microsoft has a support article on it.

There is a roundabout way of booting from the HDD where you create a DOS partition that is bootable, copy the Windows CD onto it and then run the installer after rebooting, but you would need to boot from a DOS floppy for that, or put the HDD into another PC.
