NTLDR error: First build

regulus · 2 Mar 2007 at 17:05

Mate just build his first PC and keep getting an "NTLDR" error when navigating around the BIOS in order to change the boot sequence. Apparently F10 also doesn't want to save after he change the sequence. Anyone any ideas what this could be?

OK, I think there's a communications problem for a start, if he's getting the NTLDR not found error he's no longer in the BIOS.

Can you get a bit more info, board make & model, number and config of HDDs, current boot order and desired boot order.

he needs to change his boot priority to either cd drive (if he is going to install windows)
or hdd if he has already installed it

Also there is a hdd priority list in some bios too

Thanks. It was indeed the boot sequence that was the problem. All sorted now.
