I reformatted to get rid of old junk. It is my intention to reinstall xp. It
would appear that the reformatting went well. It stated when it was finished
to type exit and hit enter. It would restart.

Well, It did restart with this message "NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl + Alt
+Del to restart". Of course nothing happens when you press the keys, it
restarts with the same message. I have the xp cd in when I restart, it
doesn't seem to be reading it. I made a floppy boot disk, it doesn't seem to
be acknowleding it either.

I cannot get it to do anything. It will only restart with the message.
Please help me before I am bald, (I don't own any wigs).

Thank you in advance. Mary
