I downloaded and burned KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-07-26-EN.iso with nero. that worked fine. i then set my 1st boot device to CD and put the cd in. after restarting Knoppix loaded fine and it was great. thing is when i put things back the way they were and restarted i got this error:

NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart

the only way i have found to start my computer is to use a windows98 and select boot from hard disk when its done. i know this works, but i want to put my computer back to the way it was this morning. windowsXP Pro runs fine when i get it running, but its booting it that is a pain. and i just got my setup perfect too

thanks
