I have an Elite PC with the following;
Windows ME
MSI 6378 motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2000 (1.67 GHz)
512MB SDRAM
40GB Hardrive

Had NTLDR failure, fixed this...however...I had to use an old 8X cdrom because after the NTLDR failure the computer would not see the 52X that came with the computer.

I have put a 40X, 50X and the 52X cdrom in the computer and it will see it, but won't read the disk. When I put in the 8X, it reads the disk just fine.

It is seen on the bios as a secondary slave. I do not have the disk or the manuals for this computer.

I had the NTLDR failure when trying to load Windows XP Pro.

Please help...I have been working on this for over a week and it is driving me crazy
