Comment: Since fitting my new Toshiba USB 320 gig hard disk the computer won't boot up with it switched on.
I have to switch it on after XP is booted up when it works OK.
I get the message " NTLDR is missing ".
What's a NTLDR ?
Anyone help ?
Cheers

Reply: (edit)GOOGLE >> 'NTLDR' 821,000 Results I expect the answer is in the first hit!!!!! It's not that I can't remember things as I get older, it's just that my hard drive's full.

Reply: (edit)Well I have lots of information but no solution.
It appears that obviously the problem is the new USB HD but what to do about it I know not.
Any further light ?
Thanks everybody.

Igot in the BIOS and changed the boot-up order from Raid/SCSI to SCSI/Raid and it worked.
