Hey guys,

Im having some trouble re-installing my girlfriends OS. She hasa dell and it was running real slow so i offered to format the disk and re-install windows for her. So i popped in her boot disk, deleted the partition and created a new one, but when it comes to the windows install screen (to press r to repair, enter, etc) it tells me hard disk is not installed. So, when i went to boot device menu and ran hard drive diagnostics, it comes up and says - pass. I found this very odd. So then i changed the boot order from cd rom to disk, and i get the message, "NTLDR is missing". I googled how to fix this problem in a few ways but the problem is basically all of them consist of entering windows repair, but i cant get there because it tells me it cannot find a hard drive. This is my first SATA hard drive that im dealing with and honestly my first time ever having trouble re-installing an OS / formatting a disk. Now i feel bad because I cant fix her computer and i know her mom is going to be mad about it lol. can someone pleaseeeeeee help me outtt

thanks,
Konrad
