[SOLUTION] NTLDR Missing

Here in this tutorial let me teach you how to recover your Windows when you get a common and a very often problem…

Symptom: Your PC will start but after showing the POST (Power On Self Testing) it gives a error message saying “NTLDR MISSING”.

Reason: This will occur when your PC is shutdown without any schedule i.e incomplete shutdown (ex: sudden power cut) or may be affected by the VIRUS…

Cause: This happens because the important system file NTLDR which is necessary for the system boot up has been deleted or corrupted.

Solution:

This problem has a similar solution as same as the previous one where NTDETECT.COM was missing. Here are steps to troubleshoot it.


• Insert the XP bootable CD and select CD-ROM from the boot menu to load the XP.
  
• Press any key to continue to boot from the CD.
  
• After the necessary drivers and tools gets loaded then it asks for some options to select.
  
  

  Code:

      1. ENTER => To continue with the installation.
      2. R => Recovery Console or 1st repair.
      3. F3 => Quit Installation.
  

• Now select i.e press R to enter the recovery console mode.
  
• Once entered into Recovery Console you will be asked for the administrator password to continue, give the password and hit ENTER.
  
• Next a screen similar to COMMAND PROMT will be there i.e it will be showing some path there. Now you need to shift to the CD-ROM drive.
  
• To move to the CD-ROM drive you need to type the command F: and hit ENTER.
  
  
  

  Quote :

  Here i have assumed F as the CD-ROM drive letter, it may not be the same in all computers.

  
  
• Now change the path to other folder i.e i386 which contains all the elements required for XP. To do that, type the command CD i386 and hit ENTER.
  
• Now you are in I386 folder. Next is copying the NTDETECT.COM file into your C drive. To do that type COPY NTLDR C:\ and hit ENTER.
  
  
  OR
  
  
• Other way is go to C drive and type the command as COPY F:\i386\NTLDR and hit ENTER. The file will be copied.
  

Thats all now hardware reset (restart) the Computer and see your Windows XP booting perfectly..!
