| 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. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318728 |

| 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. |
