NTLDR MISSING
When I try and boot the NTLDR missing message is received. The machine has windows 2000 on it. I checked the message board and one fix said to get a windows 98 boot disk and boot with that and at the "A:" prompt to type "sys c:". I did it and transferred the windows 98 system but have windows 2000. It will not let me delete the "sys.com" file from my hard drive. Questions:
1. How do I delete the "sys.com" file.
2. What do I do to fix the TNLDR missing problem.
Thanks,
qb1911

Hello QB1911,
If your computer is using Microsoft Windows 2000 and you are encountering the NTLDR error. Create the below boot.ini file on the floppy diskette drive.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
Copy the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files from another computer using the same Operating System. Both of these files are located in the root directory of the primary hard disk drive. For example C:\NTLDR and C:\NTDETECT.COM should be the locations of these files on many computers.
Once these files have been copied to a floppy diskette reboot the computer and copy the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files to the root directory of the primary hard disk drive. Below is an example of what commonly should be performed from the A:\> drive.
After the above two files have been copied, remove the floppy diskette and reboot the computer.
