Try this Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key. Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter "E". This letter may be different on your computer. copy e:\i386\ntldr c: Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot. ------------------ IP: Logged |

If you are actually booting from the CD you cannot possibly get the missing ntdlr message, while booting from a CD on a system with an OS installed you should get to a point where it asks you to "press any key" to boot from CD, if you do not it proceeds to try to boot from the HDD and you would get that message.

It is not desirable or wise to post multiple times for the same problem, it makes it difficult for people trying to help you follow what is going on or has been tried to solve the issue. IP: Logged |
