NTLDR is missing Error

Flava0ne · Jul 30, 2008

I just tried to boot up my system, but right after POST I get this NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to restart error. Everytime I restart it keeps happening. What can I do to fix this error?

make sure raid is set in your bios and if that doesnt fix it try repairing windows. Also there is about a million topics on this... google it.

p.s

didnt mean for that to sound rude.

Mussels · Jul 30, 2008

it means its either booting from the wrong hard drive, or windows is corrupt.

Check the boot order in the bios, and be sure the hard drives are all connected.

oh a cause i've seen before is bootable USB. one time i left a flash drive in my mums OEM system, and it went nuts trying to boot from it.

Hayder_Master · Jul 30, 2008

if not one of these solution there is other thing which is the hard disk problem, i don't remember there is a dos instruction to repair the ntldr use boot disk or cd

Sometimes a too aggressive overclcock can cause this as well......try running stock and see If It fixes Itself.

Hope It Helps.

Happened to me once. I fixed it by repairing Windows XP.

^Like Mussels said, USB drives or floppies can cause nightmares! Been there done that! Check for those and if no Usb's or floppies, try BP's idea^ try using the repair function.

Boot from WinXp cd and do a repair.. Experienced that when I had my Athlon XP machine oc'ed and caused some corruption... Lol

If non of those work for ya burn this iso image, http://download.seagate.com/seatools/registration.nsf/eula/desktop, to disk and boot off of it. This is a great dos diagnostic tool from seagate!
