When switching on I get a message NTLDR is missing. I then have to use the installation cd to initiate the bootup sequence. How do I fix this?
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

You need to replace NTLDR in your system files-C:\WINDOWS\. Check your BIOS to ensure you are booting 1st from the HDD. Remove any floppies during the boot or CDs/DVDs. If that doesn't apply you need to copy NTLDR off the install disk and place it in the system partition, otherwise you must reinstall.

Hi,
Boot the WinXP CD, load the Recovery Console, from the command prompt run:
copy X:\I386\ntldr C:\
Then remove the CD, type "exit" and reboot.

I have the same problem with NTLDR Missing. I have tried all the recovery options. Doing a Repair of XP, going in to Recovery console and reloading files, checking boot.ini, ran bootfix and fixmbr and still have same problem. I made a bootable diskette and if the diskette is in the floppy drive, the system will come up. When I take the diskette out, I get the NTLDR Missing message. I have copied all files from the diskette to the c drive, and no change
Any other suggestions?

A shot in the dark...
Have you made sure (in your BIOS setup) that the first boot option is the
hard drive?

Yes, I have made HDD0 the first device in the list and got the same NTLDR missing message. Of course, if I make HDD0 the first in the list, I cannot use my floppy to get the system up.
