I am putting together a new computer, and when I tried to start it up this morning, it said "NTLDR is Missing, Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart computer." Problem is, I don't even use a windows based OS yet, in fact, I was trying to boot off of a Windows ME boot disk. A WinME boot disk doesn't use NTLDR. But the floppy light doesn't even light up, and I got it set up to boot from floppy first. The harddrive has no OS on it, and it is currently formatted NTFS (although that will change to Ext3 once I get Linux installed).
Oh, and if you need some info:
Soyo SY-6BA+IV Mobo
64MB PC100 SDRAM
Intel PII @ 400 MHz
GeForce 4 MX 440 w/ 64MB DDR VRAM
Creative Labs 32-bit Sound Blaster Card
56k V.92 Modem
Seagate 5200 RPM 10 GB Internal HDD
1.44 MB 3.5" Floppy drive
24x CD-ROM
1.2 MB 5.25" Floppy Drive
I'm about to drop a 128MB stick of RAM in there, and a 32x8x42 CD-RW drive. The chip I got for free, so that is why it is just a PII (the motherboard supports up to a 850MHz Pentium III, which I'm going to upgrade it to. This dude is going to sell me one for $22)
