Computer mobo is gigabyte GA-M51GM-S2G
Bios is Award Modular Bios v6.00

Took out hdd from a junk computer, set as pri master
bios detected hdd on boot got message : 

"ntldr is missing ..."

set as pri slave to win xp pro sp2, hdd detected both by bios and XP as drive E:, 
could browse all files therein, which indicated OS is W2K.

In cmd prompt : 
attrib -shr boot.ini; ntldr & NTDETECT.COM
deleted all 3 files
created new boot.ini & copied to hdd ntldr and NTDETECT.COM from a w2k Pro cd.

 In cmd prompt : 
attrib +shr boot.ini, ntldr & NTDETECT.COM

try to boot, message :

"disk boot failure, insert system disk ..."

try repair option from w2k pro cd, hdd not detected by system.

Please advise further action.

Thank you, Regards
