Check this site out. http://fp.computers.pcc.edu/pmcg/HTML/setup_switches.htm Setup /NTLDR eliminates Windows' identification of previously installed versions of the OS. This can help you if you're stuck with a PC maker's crippled OEM/VAR Windows CD-ROM that will set up only on a new PC with no version of Windows installed. The switch ignores this limitation, enabling you to re-install Windows if necessary. Hope this helps. Don Check this out.
