Hi guys,
I'm new on here and badly need help. I have a Sony Vaio PCG-TR5MP which I've just installed a new hard drive into.

The problem is that it won't boot from my XP pro installation CD, saying that the NTLDR is missing.

Anyone out there help??

Thanks in advance,
Polmcf.

is the cd set as the first boot device, is the cd bootable.

You deleted the system file ntldr from c:/ ?
You need xp cd and reinstall it.
