I have replaced a HD in my sons pc. the old one had died.
I can't get it to boot up. I have loaded xp pro sp2 on the new HD on a
different pc.
it looks as though although the HD is being detected by BIOS I can never get
it to boot up and am getting ntldr is missing error messages as well as the
odd blue screen and HAL.dll missing on other occasions.
it tries to boot from cd but never actually does.
have tried using setup disks to no avail
also can't get a cmd prompt to do chkdisk but could be doing that wrong as I
have never really done dos!
Have tried modifying the boot ini using the catch all boot disks flying
about but not having any luck whatsoever with it and have ran out of ideas.
any help appreciated
