I have a Sony Vaio pcv-rs422x that has been around for a while and I just started using it again so I upgraded to 2gb ram that I bought off eBay (21.20). I then tried to reinstall xp on it, deleted the partitions, and after the format I get a message that says the setup cannot access the Cd containing the windows xp installion files. Trying to boot I get..

Ntldr is missing
Press ctlr+alt+del to start

I have tried repairing and making a boot disk from ntldrismissing.com went through all 10 options and nothing. When repairing I get access denied and won't let me sign in to 1.

What should I do? New hard drive?

Maybe you should try the CD in another system to see if it is the problem.

[strike]It looks like MS makes XP SP3(does NOT work for media center) available as a download. Have your COA ready. It should be on the bottom on the notebook.

This was even news to me.

Downloaded it and it is just SP3 on a CD, nothing else.

Is it Home or Pro you had on the system?
