I got a new motherboard and Windows XP Home edition with it.  My existing hard drives 
were transferred over to the new system which already had Windows 95 running on them.

I tried to install Windows XP as an upgrade and it didn't let me so I went from the 
full install option by booting from the CD.  Everything appeared to be OK until the 
first reboot.  I get a message telling "NTLDR.EXE is missing" and does not proceed 
any further.  I tried booting again from the CD but the setup process starts all 
over again.

Help!!!!!!

I tried to reinstall Windows 95 again and found that the XP setup deleted my entire 
\windows directory and now I have a crippled system because very few programs run 
due to missing files.

Why does this "ntldr.exe is missing" thing happens?  Would the XP setup work if I 
choose to format the partition where I will install XP?  I already copied everything 
else (should have done that at the very beginning) into the other hard drive, so 
nothing else would be lost.

Thanks.
