Ntldr error....help??

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Upon returning home I found my desktop had restarted and displayed the ntldr
missing error, press ctrl, alt, del to restart. This just returns to the
error screen.

I have service pack 3. I have checked my boot sequence and it is correct as
far drives.

I have tried from start up disc- copy d:\i386\ntldr c:\ and recieve
"Access is denied" therefor i cannot copy the file. I also did the following
and upon reboot, right back to the ntldr missing error.

On the next screen, at the prompt, type in chkdsk /r {with a space
before the /r parameter} and press Enter. Let it run.
At the prompt again, type in "fixmbr" {without the quotes} and
press Enter.
At the prompt again, type in "fixboot" {without the quotes} and
press Enter.
Remove your XP CD and restart the computer.

I did check my dir thru the command prompt and the ntldr file is defiantly
missing.

Is there anything else I can do. I thought I read somewhere about just
putting the ntldr file on a disk and booting with that, didn't sound too
feasible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
