NTDLR is missing!!!! Also new hard drive installed and wont find cd player?

I've had to put a new hard drive in my laptop which I've done many times before without a problem, I put the hard drive in an Acer Aspire 5552 formatted it and put the windows cd in as usual, the cd is not recognised and the screen boots up with this information on it:

NTDLR is missing
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart

End

I have tried using a usb cd player which doesn't work either, I'm not sure how to re-install NTDLR when I can't access anything to get into the computer, I've tried 2 different hard drives in the laptop, still the same result. I've also changed the BIOS settings to find the cd player first but no joy.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful.

Many thanks

 

ntdlr boot loader is just telling you the windows nt bootloader is missing on the harddrive...has nothing to do with your laptop not detecting the cd-rom.

This is a new harddrive and you are installing windows from scratch.

restart the computer, look for a message about the BOOT MENU. Usually this is F11, F10, or F12, but could also be the ESC key or something else. Select your external optical/storage device to boot from your DVD

 

Just to say thanks very much gerryf19, I burnt a new win7 copy from a disc image which acted as a boot disc and solved the problem, thank you very much for your time and reply, it's much appreciated

You are indeed the Walrus
