"NTLDR Is Missing" Error Message

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Go into the BIOS and change the boot order. You need to make the drive
with XP on it the first drive and the other one second. You may also
need to check the jumpers on the back of the drives to make sure the one
with XP is set to Master and the other to Slave.
