"NTLDR missing" error when installing XP Home Ed.

[Joe21]

Hey, this is my first time building a computer and
everything was going great until i tried to install
Windows XP Home. I formatted and partitioned the hard
drive with the utility that came with my Seagate drive and
went to install the OS when the "NTLDR is missing" error
came up. I'm not sure what's missing and if anybody could
help me out i'd much appreciate it. Thanks.

Boot up to the Windows cd and start the Windows setup. When you get the
point of determining what partition to install Windows on, delete the
existing partition. Then choose to install Windows on the unpartitioned
space. Continue on from there with setup and you should be fine.

Good Luck
