I think you mean NTLDR is missing. Have you loaded the operating system onto the new drive?

If you are adding this as a second drive, it sounds like you have the master/slave pin settings mixed up between your existing drive and the new drive. Your original drive would be the master and the new drive would be the slave. Basically the system can't find the NTLDR file on the new disk.
If you are adding this as a replacement to your old disk, you must install the operating system onto the disk (either through the OS installer disk or a system recovery disk).

It means, just as it says. Ntldr, is the boot loader for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista. It wont boot without it.
If you are unable to boot to safe mode, then you will, at a minimum need to repair the file to be able to boot.
If you have the operating system CD, then you can try inserting it and doing a "repair" to the operating system, if you need to try to preserve your files.
However, I have found the Windows "repair" that comes with WXP to be less than effective. For data recovery, I like to use an open source operating system that runs "live" from the CDrom drive. A couple that do that well is: www.kubuntu.org or www.slax.org. Also good is Knoppix (best at data recovery) or www.mintlinux.com

in case you basically deploy it (such as your previous force nonetheless on your pc), it may up with like 297.01 GB available. there is a few rounding taking position contained in the frustrating force market, yet there are different things you may not see on your frustrating force. as an celebration, in case you acquire your pc from HP or a huge manufactuer like that, danger is there's a hidden partition (a branch interior of your frustrating force) storing restore application. This keeps the restore application (that may do such issues as diagnose issues such as your pc/frustrating force and re-deploy your operating device, etc.) probability-free from viruses, or maybe gives you a touch corruption probability-free practices for the hidden partition (because it isn't being accessed). Sorry if this change into TMI :P

Format the drive and then use it, always format a new drive when you install them. After you formay it reinstal your OS and you should be good. The first answer is also correct!

NTLDR - this is a file used to boot Windows. You need to find someone near you who knows hardware and have him/her do this before you jack things up. I could explain it here but if you do it wrong, all is broken.
