New hard drive

S

Shannon

I just installed a new hard drive on a computer and used
the Maxtor formatting disk. I now have the message NTLDR
is missing and I cant seem to get passed it to install
Windows XP. Any suggestions

Hi Shannon,

Use the Maxtor software to uninstall the Maxtor partition. Boot with the
Windows XP CD and allow the setup routine to create and format the
partition.
