I've had both my rigs die in the past couple of weeks. I've got one running and the other I had to do a low level format on the HDD. Hopefully I'll get XP Pro back on it tonight and be able to resume normal life ::)

well, now that my Hell (i mean DELL) computer is back up and running at 80% of what it use to... Now I have to concentrate on my wife's HP, and an old Hateway (gateway) that has been dead now for about 6-7 years; which i actually like better than the HELL.

Could work and could not. It all depends on what on the disk is missing. NTLDR is not as simple as replacing the missing or corrupted file. There is a method of expanding the file itself and repairing it but I hear it is not worth the trouble. :P


Hopefully everything is back to normal your you. :)

if you get a message NTLDR is missing, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot.

it WILL reboot, but every time it does the computer will only show "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot."


NTLDR is the file that controls how WINDOWS boots up.  You need WINDOWS (even in safe mode to be able to fix things).... if you can not boot windows, what is your only choice???????



DING DING DING... RE-INSTALL IT !!!!!! i did just that 4 times and I believe it is fixed now.... (fingers crossed)
