UNSOLVED
NTLDR is missing
I recently uninstalled a registry cleaner, and now when I reboot, I get the message NTLDR is missing. I have a boot disk that enables me to run WIN XP, but I would like to solve the problem not work around it. I have seen the same problems/solutions for other versions of WIN but not XP SP2. I am running a DIM 8300 pretty stock from Dell.
Mgorius,
Here's the solution to your problem:
- Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
- Restart computer. Press F12 at Dell Logo. Select CD ROM. Press Enter
- When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
- Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
- Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
- You will be prompted for the administrator password, enter that password. Normally its blank.
- Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter "E". This letter may be different on your computer.
copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\ - Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.
