Title: win2k bootable cd
Post by: big denze on October 01, 2001, 02:50:15 PM

hello.
i did everything described on site to make a bootable cd to install win2k.

but:
wincd didn\'t recognise either (!) of my cd writers, so I used wincd (v4 beta) to write an image file, and then used easy cd to burn the image onto a cd (using the default track at once)

the cd looks great - but when i try to boot from it i get the famous:

ntldr couln\'t be found - please insert another disk

do you think this is because of my use of easy cd? have i lost the benefits of boot.bin

the ntldr file is at root if i386 (this is where it is supposed to be, isn\'t it?)

I got this from you in an email plus the follow up (just to let the other guys know I have more info and aren\'t going on some wild tangeant).  If you didn\'t have the bootable files you need, it wouldn\'t even get to the no ntldr error.  So at least that part is right.  I would try the cdimage program and some of the other suggestions people made.  Also try some different media, heck try a different PC if you can.  Looks like you\'re getting bit by the no ntldr bug.  It hits alot of us.
