NTLDR is Missing – Windows XP

[slipd]

Hi guys,

I looked a pc a while back that failed to boot with the message, 'NTLDR is Missing' – I showed it to a friend who, from what I can remember, either copied a couple of files from the xp cd or actually took the boot drive out and scanned it/fixed it from a working pc.

I'm now looking at another pc (one of my own…) with the same problem! Can anyone enlighten me because I'm really struggling to remember? I know it didn't take much to sort it out.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply mate!

I found a site that did the trick in the end...

I needed to copy;

e:\i386\ntldr c:\
e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\

From the windows cd. Problem solved!
