problem upgrading to XP
System: Compaq Presario 5000 series, 5BW251
Problem: It came with ME installed. I tried to upgrade to XP Pro by booting from the XP install disk. It booted ok and started the install. It formated the harddrive to fat32, copied files and tried to reboot to continue the install. But when it tries to boot from the harddrive it stops with an "NTLDR not found" error. Now what do I do?
