I recently upgraded my motherboard and processor and subsequently did a quick format of my c: drive to do a fresh install of XP. I'm having problems installing it though. Everytime I tell the computer to boot from the CD it keeps telling me that a file called NTLDR is missing! Can anyone help me out please?

Thanks.

My rig:
Core 2 Duo E6600
ASRock 775Dual-VSTA
1x512MB DDR + 1x1GHz DDR
160GB HD
Enermax 350W
