A missing NT loader should not prevent you booting from CD, assuming the computer is itself *capable* of booting from a CD. So I'd suggest checking your BIOS to make sure it really is trying to boot from  CD.

I screwed up an OS install. Windows and now I get NTLDR is missing and cannot boot from CD. I also get an error when I rerun the Windows setup CD. Its driving me nuts.

Nothing I do seems to boot this thing. Any help appreciated.
