After reinstalling everything it worked fine for a couple of months, then one
day decided it was missing the ntldr file. I don't know what the last
actions are on it, as it is my accountant's personal notebook, not mine.
It does not have a floppy drive, and I have reset the bios to boot from the
hard drive.

Fine. Did you ever manage to boot it since you rebuilt it?.
If yes, what's happened to it around the last successful boot?

Trying to follow the article on booting from a CD and copying the two
recommended files (ntldr and ntdetect) from the CD I was limited by the
fact
that my Windows CD is a Toshiba reinstall only. It want's to format
and
reinstall everything, which is sometimes fine, but not what I want to
do
if
not necessary.
I took the drive out and put it in a USB case connected to another
Toshiba
running the same version of windows and tried copying the two files
from
the
working Toshiba to the second drive, but it still does not boot. Still
says
it can't find the ntldr file.
The only difference in the files in the root directory is the
non-booting
one does not have a pagefile.
What is the next step?
- What is the recent history of this machine?
- Is the system partition marked "active"?
