Hi Gang,

I am trying to convert an ageing win2k box over to linux after the win2k
system crashed with NTLDR missing.  However after what apears to have been
a succesfull install of linux, a reboot still gives me nothing but:

NTLDR Missing

I tried to correct this by issuing  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512
count=1

But even after this I still get NTLDR Missing.

Any clues as to how I might clear this error?
