Worked before with Linux then I stuffed it trying to install xp from usb drive as I didn't have an external drive to run cd from. I have now.

NTLDR is under i386 on the cd (assuming D: is the cd drive and C: is where windows is installed)

1: "COPY D:\i386\ntldr C:\" and press ENTER.
2: "COPY D:\i386\ntdetect.com C:\" and hit Enter again
3: Remove the CD and type EXIT (or reboot)

Hope that helps
Chris
