    Question Bootup issue?

    I have this customer that complains that everytime he installs a driver, such as his joystick drivers, or his ATI All in Wonder Pro 128, when he reboots he gets "ntldr" missing?
    He eventually has to use his disk to restore his boot sector...

    I have recreated the problem in my lab and came up with the same thing, even with my own "Original copy of Win2k Pro"

    Is there something that I'm doing wrong here, or are we both losing our minds?

    I remember having this problem when I had Win2k and I can't remember the fix..
