Thank you Brian for the reply.
Unfortunately, I had been to this page at least a hundred times before I
posted here. As I stated, I made a boot floppy, and this is exactly where I
followed the directions to do it.
My problem seems to be that the computer is not reading anything, and
microsoft is giving me directions for it to read something. I would probably
be good to go if I could get past this message.
I may be able to get it to boot from floppy if I could get into bios.
Unfortunately again, I am having no luck. It was a custom made computer from
a few yrs back and have tried everything to get into bios with no luck. I
can't seem to figure out the right key to get me in there.
Thank you, Mary

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
