I have now in my possession a copy of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium.
I also now have a clean, completely formatted 640GB Hard Disk Drive.
Now, before i even to get to the install part i get this message. NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl-alt-del to restart. Now i have looked at the computerhope section for this problem, but it seems to have evolved.
Now for the sake of my sanity i will refer to my IDE ports as 1 and 2 (there are 5 but they all herald the same results as 2)
When i connect my HDD to port 1, my BIOS/CMOS can "see" that the hard drive is present, but for some reason cannot auto-detect or set as Primary Master.
When i attach it to slot 2, it cannot "see" that the drive is there, but it will forsome reason allow me to set it as the Primary Master.
Both of these herald the NTLDR missing result.
I am running a MSI P965 Neo Motherboard, the HDD is a Westen Digital 640GB SATA (WD640AAKSDTL)
Any Ideas?
