Need help: Win2K guest that won't install - NTLDR is missing

Hi,

I'm trying to install Win2K as a guest under VMware Server running on a 64-bit AMD, using 64-bit Suse 10.1.

I had this running earlier under 64-bit Gentoo, same hardware, previous VMware Server (RC1 I think). I didn't see this problem then.

During install, I am getting a message that says: NTLDR is missing. I've googled about and tried a few things to no avail. It won't install from the Windows CD or from an iso image made from the Windows CD with mkisofs.

Technical info below...

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
