I know this is not a Win98 forum. I am posting here because NTLDR is an XP
system file and participants in this forum are most likely to know about it.
I have clean installed Win98 on to a reformatted HD, which had been playing
up in an XP box (SeaTools reported file system error in NTFS sector, and
chkdsk failed to fix it). The install went fine including 3 or 4 reboots.
Everything was working fine. Then to double check that everything is OK, I
powered down the machine waited 10 seconds and powered it up. And I got the
message NTLDR is missing!
Questions: Why is a Win98 box looking for NTLDR, and how do I tell it not to?
PS It is a Seagate 10MB HD. SeaTools reports the drive as being OK. The
box I am using is a Compaq Deskpro EN P866. SeaTools reports system
components as OK.
