[pchelpers] Re: missing ntldr

Is the 233 reading the hard drive parameters the same as the good
machine (cylinders, sectors etc). If not, the files may appear to be
somewhere else.

Try re-adjusting the CMOS settings for the hard drive. Also, be sure it
is used in the same position as before. If it was IDE 1 primary on one,
it should be on the other.
