Hello,
xpcman, please permit to add few lines.
Copy the missing file from your Windows XP CD.
Try this 1
1) Set the first booting device to CD/DVD-drive in CMOS settings.
2) Place the Windows XP CDin the CD/DVD-drive.
3) When a prompt "Press any key to boot from CD" appears, just press any key.
4) When Windows XP Setup screen appears, press R to enter Recovery Console.
5) If you have installed Windows XP in C drive then press 1 and then Enter.
6) Enter the password and then press "Enter"
7) Now command prompt appears
C:\WINDOWS>
8) enter these commands
cd \ and then press enter.
Now command prompt changes to C:\>
9) Here I assume your CD\DVD drive as G drive that contain your Windows XP
CD. Enter the below command
g: --> Press Enter.
Now your prompt changes to the G drive as G:\>
9) Now enter below command
cd i386 --> Press Enter.
Now the command prompt changes to G:\i386>
Now type the below command
copy ntldr C: --> Press Enter.
"1 file(s) copied" message appears.
Now type the below command
copy NTDETECT.COM C: --> Press Enter.
"1 file(s) copied" message appears.
10) Now type exist and press Enter ---> It will restart your PC.
(Note : After restart change the first boot device to harddisk or remove the
Windows XP CD from the CD/DVD drive or when it asks you to "Press any key to
boot from CD..."don't press any key at the moment.)
Good Luck

Hi, thanks for your help, I just realized that I lost my windows xp installation CD. Right now am downloading from the internet to burn it to a CD to run the installation following your instruction. I believe your response will help as I have tried all the other alternatives but couldn't fix the problem. I will update of you of the progress once I have the installation CD ready and follow your instruction.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Julie
