Default NTLDR not located....HELP

my computer got all garbaged up so for a fresh start ,I removed my hd and
formated it on another computer. now when I reboot with the WIN ME disk I get
the NTLDR is missing message.
I note that my cd rom is listed as secondary slave. Could that be an issue?
it worked in that config before I reformatted.[ the master cd rom died a
while back and i disconnected it [ leaving the second cd rom in place] after
removing the hd for reformat SOOOOO
how do I get my comp running on Win ME again?

Thanking you in advance

Windows ME is a Win9x based OS and there is NO NTLDR which is a part of the NT Based OS.

I presume you are confusing Windows 2000 with Windows ME and your problem is with Windows
2000 (aka; Win2K).

If David is correct, and you really don't have ME, Microsoft has the (NTLDR)
solution for any NT based system including Windows 2000. It's a bit
complicated, so I won't print it out here.

It tells us two things, or maybe a third one. One, that you formated
the disk on an NT type machine (Windows NT/2000/XP) and that the active
partition of the disk now has an NT boot sector, so when your computer
boots to the hard drive it looks for the NT boot loader (ntldr), and the
second thing it tells us is that you are not booting to the CD at all,
you are booting to the hard drive. You should start by going in the
BIOS and change the boot order so that the CD drive is ahead of the hard
disk, then you might be able to accomplish what you want. The third
possibility would be that you have a diskette that was formated on an NT
system in the floppy drive.

Actually, it is easy if you have another PC.

In short, just copy the file from the root of the surrogate PC to the root of the affected
PC's hard disk.

Seems the opposite way the two systems tend to be confused, David. For a
minute there I was thionking this is the old 'trying to install SP4 on Win
Me' issue, only I don't see that it'd get that far. Perhaps Ralph does mean
Win Me, but the disk was incorrectly formatted, something like it was
formatted in an NTFS system without hiding the new FAT32 partition, i.e. as
a dual boot starting from XP's boot.ini? If it was made bootable in the
process I imagine that would occur.

Try creating a fresh Windows ME boot floppy.

Hi Dave I'm getting that my problem is that I formatted the HD on a XP
laptop. My new problem is I don't know anyone with a pre 2000 OS to reformat
the HD.
