Re: ntldr
Just some thoughts/ questions,
what kind of hd is it?
did you format it to be a boot drive?
are the jumpers, if any, set right?
is it plugged in right? (ie, primary master)
does BIOS detect it?
is it a supported drive by the computer your putting it in? (ie ATA
100, 133 etc...)
is the boot order set right in BIOS?
have you cleared/ reset DMI pool by removing the CMOS battery or
whatever method this PC uses?
lastly, I never could install windows on one PC then stick the hard
drive in another PC and expect it to work. something to do with
copyrights....
