please help , i was trying to instal window XP on a pc but what am seeing is NTLDR is missing. please help me.

The NTLDR error is usually saying you have a bad image. Specifically a bad boot loader file. (boot.ini file)

Get a better copy of the image and try again.

How far back did you try to go...? Have you tried a different later date than going that far back as you did.

Well since this is only happening with the windows 8 machine...you may wanna try the system refresh option.

Now this option will remove any programs you may have installed which you will need to reinstall again. But all your personal files and documents will be fine.

Thats the only option I have for you now.

How are you upgrading to Windows 8?

Sounds like you may have a bad image...

And why is everyone using windows 8 on here....y'all don't understand how windows 7 is still so much better and stable?

Well are you choosing the upgrade option when installing? If you are then you may need to just format your current drive option and install a fresh copy of your preferred OS

Have they checked the memory ram ?

Have they checked the power display switch
that can accidentally turn off the display

Is the caps/num lock on ?

Have they tested it on a vga monitor?

Use google to find out how to get to device manager
and click the + sign next to network adaptor, what can you see ?

Any yellow signs on the list ?
