NTLDR missing message on start up!

[allstar_07]

I had a hd with windows 98 on and just bought a new 80gb one. I added the new one in as master and installed windows 2000 on it. It worked fine along side the old one with 98, being booted a few times.

I downloaded some upgrades and instead of restarting straight away i left it overnight. This morning it came up with controller errors and saying NTLDR missing 'press control alt delete to restart'. I tried booting with just the new drive in but same message. The old one works fine still when on its own. If i run the old one as master and the new as slave i can boot up and pick windows 2000 and it works!

How can i get it to work with the new as the master and the old as slave?!

I used the fixboot utility in 2000's recovery console but no luck.

The old drive is FAT32 and the new NTFS.

Cheers

i hope this helps,
i have the same message you are talking about. the only thing is i don't we are having the same problem. because when i had the message come up and noticed that i had a floppy disc in my computer and it must have been trying to boot up to it or something. however i took it out and everything was fine. i didn't download anything from it. i just it to work on a paper. so you might want to check and see if you had a cd in one of your cd drives or something. i hope it helps out in some way or another.
