NTLDR is missing !! Please help
 

Jan,

NTLDR is part of NT based operating systems such as Win2K and XP and not
Win Me or other Win9x systems. Did you perhaps try to upgrade from Win Me
to XP and abort the process?

The easiest way to fix your problem is to obtain a Win Me boot floppy and
to boot to DOS using that floppy and at the A:\ DOS prompt type
SYS C:
Remove the floppy and reboot and this should hopefully now take you into
Win Me provided that the files are still present after any aborted attempt
to upgrade.

You say you have no Win Me boot floppy but seem to be able to access the
net, presumable from a different PC, in which case you can download the
image of a suitable floppy from www.bootdisk.com. Download the Win Me OEM
floppy image to your desktop and then double click and follow the prompts
to copy the image to a floppy disk.

Ok,
My sons computer won't boot I keep getting the NTLDR is missing press
any key to restart.

So I go through support on the web and obviously I need a Windows/ME
boot disk.
Well I don't have one and I can't open the cd rom either because of
the problem.

I need a start up disk to get into the system and fix the ntldr file.

If you can help and possibly lead me in the right direction if I have
run astray I would appreciate it.

Please email me at

thanks
Jan
