I'm working on an Inspiron 1520.

when i try to reboot, I get the "NTLDR is missing".

I used a utility that runs a mini windows xp from the CDROM drive but I couldn't see tha hardrive from there.

I ran some utilities that check and repair errors on the disk and it found now errors or bad sectors.

Also ran a utility to check if you can "seek" on the hardrive and that was fine.

Ran the Dell diagnostics and it came up with the following:

"Error Code 0414.

MSG: Error Code 2000-0414

MSG: Hardware Dectect Error - Inverter Cable Not Detected.

Can someone tell me what that means?
