NTLDR is missing ???

[joey1]

as some might know from my antec 900 post im putting together a new rig anyways i had a seagate 80gb ide hdd lying nothing wrong with it to my understand i think i formatted it and had it sitting in the cupboard, pulled it out to set up windows on it for the new rig put in my xp pro cd...goes to the verifying DMI pool data...the a message "NTLDR is missing press alt+ctrl+del to restart" does it everytime any ideas ??
never seen it before

is this after you install windows? you might have to reinstall windows anyways because some files might not be copied correctly so just reinstall a fresh copy again and should work. if not your hdd might be faulty.
