My old machine displayed the following message when I came back from being gone all week.
NTLDR is missing
Press ctl-alt-del to restart.
I don't know what happened. My daughter uses this machine for just about everything.
I went online and found out what files are missing. To fix it said to boot with another disk to c prompt. Then copy the new files over to where they are suppose to be...
So, I copied the 3 NTLDR files onto a CD with my new machine from the XP disk. I can get to the c: and d: prompt but have no idea how to first get to the files on d: much less how to copy them over to where they need to go on the c: drive...
I'm sure it's an easy process.....if you know how to do it? Any help?
Windows XP
AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 Dual

Provided D is the letter of the drive that your windows xp disc is...
Type the following:

copy D:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy D:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\

Thanks KJ.. of course, when I tried to boot up from the installation disk..all 4 of them I have, I couldn't get to the C: prompt at all. Was able to do it several times before your fix and of course before I can apply it the damn thing won't let me into the c or d drive., now it won't let me. Something about "\file \amd64\ntklrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. Error number 4. This really sucks..

Was it a dell, gateway, e-machine, hp, compaq, toshiba, acer, asus, or fujitsu that broke? Better yet, did the machine come with it's own, company-specific, windows disc?

Nope...now I can't get to a c or d prompt. Is there anyway to get to C or D from the bios program? I don't know what I would do if I could but I might be able to at least try to run setup or copy the NDLR files from a CD...otherwise, I guess I need to just clean the disk and reinstall...losing everything. Thank goodness it's my backup. Signed up today for an online backup system for 50 bucks a year to keep this from happening again...
