I'm trying to get Server 2008 R2 installed on my laptop. I've followed many instructions to make my USB hard drive bootable, but I keep coming up with a NTLDR is missing error when I try and boot from the USB hard drive. I used ImgBurn, first, and then the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, to try and create a bootable DVD, but when I try and boot from DVD, the screen in blank for a few seconds before my machine boots normally from its own XP hard drive.
I'm guessing that NTLDR is no longer part of Server 2008, but I would love to know what is going on here, and why my laptop won't boot from DVD.
