Could you clearify your situation? I'm not sure what it is that you need.

You can get XP Floppy setup disks from MS's website if that's all that you're looking for. It takes 6 diskettes total, so have them ready.

I'm not sure exactly what you did. Hope that helps.

i think he installed windows on E: and he wants it on C:

its set to boot from C but not E.

can you boot up windows at all?

and to format, i think you can use the windows cd.

If he installed Windows on E, and wants it on C...then he needs to reinstall? Hey, you could also change the letters. You could make C...E, and E...C.

There are a few different things you could do in this situation actually.

In, my opinion you should fix your CD before doing anything.

A bit more reading for you parOx

This one has a download link for a floppy fix for 'ntldr is missing'.

Can you set the computer to boot from the E: drive?

At start up there should be an F key to press to enter setup or boot up options.

you need to enter the bios.

try: F1, F2, F3, F4, Del., B, or Enter.

there could be more but those are the probable ones.

look on the screen when it first starts to boot up, it usually shows up what key to press.

works now, just formatted again, downloaded a file onto a floppy to fix it. thanx anyway
