Hey,
First of all, I would like to apologize for my bad English because Im from Poland. My problem is as follows:

I'm trying to install Windows Xp Professional SP3 on a Western Digital 40GB IDE / ATA hard drive for another computer (unfortunately, I am unable to install it directly on a second computer because there is only a CD drive and I have Windows on DVD discs). So I plugged the WD40GB to my computer and started the installation. Everything went well from the beginning. The disc booted, the installer also launched. I chose the drive, format it (NTFS quick), the installer has copied the files and rebooted the computer. Now comes the problem, because when normally the installer should continue installing system I get the error "NTRLD is missing" and I can not do anything. I even tried out different copy of Windows and still the same. Also checked various master/slave/cs variants and nothing. Can anyone help me? ;c

My computer specifications:
C2D E8400
DFI LanParty DK X38
 
NTDLR is the boot loader of windows.

When it sets up windows, it copies all of the files for setup to the hard drive.
After that it will need to configure the installation.
It does this by booting off the hard drive where it was installed.

So the NTLDR message is because the hard drive is second in the boot order list.
change the HD to one in the boot order of the bios. The setup should continue.

Okay, I changed the boot order for Hard Drive to first. Sadly it did not work and I still have NTLDR error. God, why I can't install it?! -.- Maybe it's something with my pc? Is there any other way? Maybe I can install it somehow from Windows 7?
