CDboot: couldnt find NTLDR
Just got a new samsung 80 gig drive in a box that is runnning iwill Award BIOS.
I put the XP cd in and when it trys to load the CD it comes up with an error. CDBOOT: couldnt find NTLDR. The CD is brand new. The CD-ROM drive jumper setting is on cable select. In BIOS it is on mode 3 ( whatever that means) Auto detect As for the HDD, its on auto detect and LBA, UDMA 33, Master. I went in BIOS and I cant see anything wrong, the cdrom is the first boot device. Any suggestions? |

Try making the CD as your only boot device if possible. Remove all the others. Also is this an authentic CD? It is also possible that the CD is damaged.
