Hi folks. I have a little problem. My 80gig hard drive is screwed. I am now trying to install xp pro on my spare one(20 gig western digital). I have every thing set up, Pin out(because it's the only hard drive), win xp pro cd in but I get the message "NTLDR is missing" so it does'nt get as far as booting to the CD. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm at my whits end with this.
Cheers
 
You must set BIOS to try to boot from the CD before it tries to boot from the hdd.
 
yah under advanced options there should be something that says first boot device: HDD 0

you want to change it to CD-rom

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
