new hard drive

[chrismike]

did a full system delete, so that cleaned the hard drive
right? repartitioned and formated the hard drive.
Placed the XP cd in drive and tried to setup. Then
computer restarted and NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart. What is NTLDR and where
do I find it?

ntldr is a system file, used by Win in its startup process.
If you want to install windows using cd, change in BIOS system
boot sequence, first boot device should be your cdrom, not
harddisk.

Hi

Try this:

Boot with your XP CD in the cd drive. Select 'To repair..' by pressing 'R'.
When in the Recovery Console type the following:

"copy X:\i386\ntldr C:\" - without the quotes. Where X is the letter of
your CD drive and C is the letter of your system drive. Take the XP CD out
of the cd drive, type Exit and then reboot into XP normally - Ctrl-Alt-Del
to reboot.
