ntldr is missing error message

[Guest]

I have installed a HD to a laptop, because the laptop that use to have it is
damage. I wanna recover the data from that HD, and installed it on another
laptop. This HD have XP Professional and a multi boot part with 98. The error
message that always appears is ntldr is missing. I have tried to copy
ntdetect, ntldr, run fixboot, reinstall the XP, but it doesn't worked.

Could someone has an idea what else I should do??

Thanks

Jerry

Hello

Well that's because you just can't move XP OS from one
hardware to the next and right now being that your getting
that erro it won't boot, do the following below



Do a repair install

Thanks for your response. I tried already whats on the article which is an
repairing installation on the current installation, but the error keeps
appearing.

Some other idea??

Jerry, you could try using the Recovery Console. You want to use
the Bootcfg command. Use the first three
bootcfg /add bootcdg /rebuild and bootcfg /scan
Probably bootcfg /rebuild will work. For more info

ok, all you really need is to get the data of the drive, believe thats how i
read it.

slave the drive onto a different system and just pull the files off.
