I'm getting the dreaded "NTLDR is missing" error message after putting a new hard drive on my PC.
I've read some of the threads about this problem, but none of the answers that I've seen help me.
The hard drive is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10, and is the only hard drive in the PC. I have used Seagate's DriveWizard to set the HD up, but get the "NTLDR is missing" message when the "Press any key to boot from CD" message appears. When I press a key to boot from CD, nothing happens. It's as if the keyboard doesn't work, even though I can get into the bios using the USB keyboard. I don't have a floppy drive. The DVD writer is set to be the first boot device in the BIOS. It seems to me as if the keyboard stops working as soon as the DVD drive is accessed.
I've just finished writing the whole HD with zeroes using Seagate's Drive Wizard, but the "NTLDR is missing" still appears.
So if anyone can help me get this working I'd be very grateful. If you need more information, just ask.
Thanks.
