mick0142 Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 alright, everytime i restart my computer (EVERY TIME) it refused to boot up, telling me that NTLDR is missing and that i can ctrl alt del to restart.. the only way to get windows to boot up is to put in the windows cd, boot from it, goto the repair console, copy NTDLR, and ntdetect.com off the cd, and do a fixboot... is there any way to make it so i don't have to go through this EVERY time??? *edit* i am not sure why this posted twice, so if you are a mod, feel free to delete this post *edit* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted January 21, 2003 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2003 You could put the core components on the NT bootup on floppy and have it boot from that if you want? Then replace them on ya HD. boot.ini, ntdetect.com, ntldr, msdos.sys - should work fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purush Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 This happens if you upgrade XP from a previous OS. A clean install should solve the problem. If you are using two OS then you may have to dual boot properly. There are posts for this, check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 (edited) You are probably having problems with your boot.ini file, NTLDR problems are nearly always related to boot.ini Edited January 22, 2003 by Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
