Hey i got my hands on a amd 600mhz dell and i tried to install Thiz linux which came with one of my motherboards, and it hangs during boot up after instalation, i was wondering if possibly gateway has locked it to run only DOS?

it asked for ntldr when i was trying to flash the bios as maybe Gateway had buddied up with microsoft or something any idea's on how to find NTLDR on a system without any microsoft products loaded? Yes i have formatted since any versions of windows have been on the hd, hell i've even put in a new fresh hd as the otherone broke some how, it was just loading and i heard a wretched sound.

I was just having this problem (NTLDR MISSING) on my system same setup...new drives and such. I had the bios set to boot from the CDrom but I forgot to uncheck the TRY OTHER BOOT DEVICES setting. once I unchecked it i was able to get right into set up. also found this on M$'s help site for anyone else that is having this problem:MS HELP SITE INFO
hope this helps anyone else out
