Eliminating one drive in a 2 drive system

[Ron Harmon]

I have been running a 2 drive system. C drive has XP and
all my programs.
When I disconnect the second drive, the system boots up
until it is ready to load Windows. Then I get a message
"NTDLR is missing", and everything stops. What is NTDLR?
I did a search for it and came up blank. What next?

Thanks for the help.

Try booting up using the XP CD-ROM and choose to repair. Then choose the
Recovery Console Option...
Choose the number corresponding to your XP version and enter your
Administrator Password (then press enter).

After that you'll see a command prompt...enter the following command:

bootcfg /rebuild" command to fix boot.ini.
FIXBOOT will fix the boot sector on the boot drive,
FIXMBR will fix the master boot record if the NT loader
complains of a missing HAL or unmountable boot volume.



After the process is completed enter the command EXIT to quit (and the
system should auto reboot OK from that point onwards...
