Possible virus infection???

[dunric]

I was using my computer and Norton Firewall popped up and said "Medium
Risk - Windows subsystem is attempting to access the internet- Block
Once, Block Always, Allow" and so I clicked on Block once, and it
popped up with the same message again, so I clicked on "Block always"
and then my computer froze completely.
I restarted it and now the message (in DOS) says:

NTLDR is missing...
Press any key to restart.

What happened and why can't I boot back into Windows?

Hi Paul

Try this:

Boot with your XP CD in the cd drive. Select 'To repair..' by pressing 'R'.
When in the Recovery Console type the following:

"copy X:\i386\ntldr C:\" - without the quotes.

Where X is the letter of your CD drive and C is the letter of your system
drive. Take the XP CD out of the cd drive and reboot into XP normally.

Hey Paul,

If you are worried about that medium risk pop-up from Norton , you should
allow it as it could be your ISP who is trying to check for the connection. I
did block all for that pop-up once and I lost my internet connection. The
only way I couls connect would be by disabling Norton.
