NTLDR is missing

I just got the computer a few days ago I will have tolook and see if one came with it.

look at your other post

Ruby,
Do you have an emergency repair disk? You should be able to boot with that and copy the NTLDR from there (floppy) to your C:\drive.

Ruby,

This article tells you how to create a boot disk if you don't have one.

All the floppy disk I put in do not work. I can see it in my computer. when I put a floppy in it says to insert when in fact I already did. I will proally have to send back for repairs.

Thanks

ruby981,
You mean you reinstalled XP? You booted from your CD/ROM? If yes then you may have to go into Set up and change your boot order so your floppy boots first. Will any floppies work?Can you see Your A drive in My Computer? Remember you have 30 days from the date on your invoice to return your computer.If you can not resolve your problems I would consider this option.

I made a boot disk with six floppy disks. When I went to put in the floppy it seems my floppy drive does not work. I have had the computer for about a week. I finally had to reinstall. Now I have to see about my A drive. The light does not come on and the eject button does not work.
