OK so Win 7 doesn't have or use NTLDR so why the hell is my machine demanding one to work?

If I boot with the Win 7 DVD in a drive then all is well if not it won't play?

Ah, usually anyone I've ever seen with driver problems had an ATI :)

Not that it's what you'd associate with Win 7 problems etc :oops:
