   Need help with hard drive.
  i got a new hard drive for a computer at work. however after installing it i got an error messege "ntldr missing"... upon further invertigation it seemed the bios was completly mis-reading the drives properties. so i manually put in 1024 for cylinders, 256 for heads, and 63 sectors... only problem is the bios only goes up to 255 heads!i suspect the windows install is writing a MBR that is different from what the bios is saying and so i get the ntldr error...so am i out of luck and have to return? or is there something i can do about this?   
  I'd suggest making sure you have the newest bios for your motherboard. Perhaps after an update, it'll read the drive correctly.   ;Quote:Original post by MaegaI'd suggest making sure you have the newest bios for your motherboard.
