problems with booting up computer

[Seraphim974]

i sold my old computer to a friend at school without a HDD and he bought a Maxtor Ata133 drive, well when he boots up the computer it says that Ntldr is missing or something. what is this and what can i do to help him get into windows (xp). any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Did he install a fresh operating system after he put the hard drive into the system?

Otherwise, I usually get that error if I'm trying to overclock too high .

supposedly a fresh copy of windows xp PRO. I am trying to help him over the phone (which is a pain in the ass)
