1. There is no floppy in the drive.
2. Windows repair suggests that there is a windows to
repair. I am trying to do a clean installation on a new
drive. The drive has been freshly partitioned and
formatted, and made a boot drive.
3. I have tried everything I have found on a variety of
sites, including Microsoft, and get the same error every
time.
The only way to boot this machine is on a floppy. Any
other way I try gets teh "no NTLDR" problem. I have
checked, and the files are on the C drive in their proper
place.
