CDBOOT: Could not find NTLDR

techiemon · Mar 20, 2007

Ok, this is just odd, my CD drive works fine, it will load my original XP CD just fine, but after I slipstream XP Pro and SP2 then I get the message CDBOOT: Could not find NTLDR.. I even changed the CD to the first bootup device in the bios... Any clues?

Slipstreaming is only one part of the operation, did you also copy the boot sector over to the new CD ?

Meaning? To make the disk bootable or the Microsoft Corporation.img file? I followed the directions from http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html. But I used intervideo burning software as Isobuster does not work without buying it.
