NTLDR not located....HELP
my computer got all garbaged up so for a fresh start ,I removed my hd and
formated it on another computer. now when I reboot with the WIN ME disk I get the NTLDR is missing message. I note that my cd rom is listed as secondary slave. Could that be an issue? it worked in that config before I reformatted.[ the master cd rom died a while back and i disconnected it [ leaving the second cd rom in place] after removing the hd for reformat SOOOOO how do I get my comp running on Win ME again? Thanking you in advance Ralph |

If David is correct, and you really don't have ME, Microsoft has the (NTLDR)
solution for any NT based system including Windows 2000. It's a bit complicated, so I won't print it out here. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics! "David H.

NTLDR not located....HELP
It tells us two things, or maybe a third one. One, that you formated
the disk on an NT type machine (Windows NT/2000/XP) and that the active partition of the disk now has an NT boot sector, so when your computer boots to the hard drive it looks for the NT boot loader (ntldr), and the second thing it tells us is that you are not booting to the CD at all, you are booting to the hard drive. You should start by going in the BIOS and change the boot order so that the CD drive is ahead of the hard disk, then you might be able to accomplish what you want. The third possibility would be that you have a diskette that was formated on an NT system in the floppy drive.

I presume you are confusing Windows 2000 with Windows ME and your problem is with Windows 2000 (aka; Win2K). Seems the opposite way the two systems tend to be confused, David. For a minute there I was thionking this is the old 'trying to install SP4 on Win Me' issue, only I don't see that it'd get that far. Perhaps Ralph does mean Win Me, but the disk was incorrectly formatted, something like it was formatted in an NTFS system without hiding the new FAT32 partition, i.e. as a dual boot starting from XP's boot.ini? If it was made bootable in the process I imagine that would occur. Shane |
