Okay.
Yesterday I got here because one of my RAM modules was broken, and all the people who helped me: thanks!
Anyhow, yesterday I also mentionned this problem in the same thread, and it wasnt solved, but I was too sick of my computer to actually care.
Heres the problem:
I have 4 partitions:
C: -> Windows XP Pro
D: -> Development Drive
E: -> Games & Music
F: -> Empty (I kept it free, in case Linux might become compatible with my computer)
I installed Vista on the F: , it sucked, it crashed, it messed up my computer,
I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro on the C drive and right before that I erased Vista off my F: drive.
Then I had a lot of messing around putting cd's in, i seriously cant recall what I did to my computer and all, but here I am:
Windows XP Pro is installed on my C: drive, and my F: drive is empty again. Every time I boot my computer, it says "NTLDR is missing." and I understand this should be fixed with putting those files back on the C: drive, but that didnt help. and I do intend on keeping my F: drive clean for now.
HOWEVER! If i insert a bootable disk into my dvd drive, and i let it run out of time (Press any button to... blablabla) then my computer does start in Windows XP.
Now, I left it as is for now, since i really couldnt be bothered to have a crack at it, but i really dont want a windows cd or my mainboard cd (strangly any bootable cd works with this) hanging around in my computer at all times....
Any ideas?
Thanks.
