A friend of mine recently removed my hard drive so that we could install a larger one.<br />
<br />
After the installation of the larger hard drive I get the error message, upon boot up, &quot;No NTLDR. Please restart your computer&quot;.<br />
<br />
Can anyone tell me what &quot;NTLDR&quot; is?<br />
<br />
The computer is not recognizing a hard drive. I have determined this by going into the bios.<br />
<br />
It is a 250 gig Maxtor hard drive and the operating system is Windows 98 (I was preparing to upgrade to Windows XP but obviously I can't do that yet).<br />
<br />
Thank you very much,<br />
Phil

Hard Drive Installation Problem

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
