I got the subject 'NTLDR' msg. So ntldr is missing windows 7 I put the old 30GB drive back in and rebooted with the same message My son insisted that the message meant that the CD/DVD unit was bad. To rule that out I burned a large file to CD, and tested it in both laptops....works how to fix ntldr is missing fine. Then I figured I would rule out the CD media itself as a problem by booting it in the newer HP laptop, and it booted up fine, and ran all the way thru loading setup files. But still no glory with the old HP laptop. So I am at a loss as to where the issue lies? Any thoughts to shed some light on this one? winbob, Dec 20, 2006 #1 Sponsor usualsuspect Joined: Jul 29, 2002 Messages: 548 Hi bob, It sounds like it's simply
Cdboot Couldn't Find Ntldr Windows 7
trying to boot from a drive that doesn't possess a NT Loader. I say this because you put the old drive back in - changed the boot priority back? - and then foud the same problem. Nothing has magically corrupted the working drive whilst it was out (unless you have a cat) so something else has changed. Are you certain the boot priority is getting changed? usualsuspect, Dec 21, 2006 #2 MaverickUK Joined: Nov 30, 2006 Messages: 941 Hi, NTLDR is a Windows OS file (as far as i know) - therefore i presume that your hard drive is corrupt (the contents, not the physical drive). If this is the case, i would suggest you doing a repair install on the hard drive at issue, this should solve all problems - if you want information on how to do this, i posted it in another thread a few minutes ago.

Mav, two HD's (probably) can't have been corrupted. usualsuspect, Dec 21, 2006 #4 Triple6 Rob Moderator Joined: Dec 26, 2002 Messages: 49,201 Were these drive blank when you put them into the laptop? Does the laptop even try to start off the Windows XP CD? Triple6, Dec 21, 2006 #5 valis Moderator Joined: Sep 24, 2004 Messages: 70,817 it's odd that it is happening with both drives. Regardless, try the old fix here: http://www.tinyempire.com/shortnotes/files/ntldr_missing.htm I
It doesn't mean what it says, though ;). The message means that the bootsector was
Ntldr Is Missing Windows Xp Fix Without Cd
unable to find the file \I386\SETUPLDR.BIN on the CD. ntldr location This can have two reasons: The file is not present ;) or the reason explained ntldr is missing usb boot below... Depending on the CD writing program, the file SETUPLDR.BIN (and every other file on the CD) is stored in the file table either https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-cant-find-ntldr-using-xp-boot-cd.528320/ as SETUPLDR.BIN;1 or else as SETUPLDR.BIN the first variant is standard (';1' is "file version" as described in ISO9660 and an obligatory part of the file name), the second variant is used by Microsoft on it's CDs. The bootsectors NT5BOOT.BIN and NT4BOOT.BIN will only findthe file \I386\SETUPLDR.BIN if the http://bootcd.narod.ru/ntbootbin_e.htm ';1' is not present. What to do? If your CD writing program has an option to disable the version numbers of the files, this has to be used to enable the use of the original bootsectors NT5BOOT.BIN and NT4BOOT.BIN. In Nero, the option is: "Do not add the ';1' ISO file version extension" in CDRWin: "Disable Version Numbers" If your program does not have this option, you have to use the following bootsectors: NT5BOOTM.BIN and NT5BOOTM.BIN. In this version, the file version option is switched off,that means SETUPLDR.BIN;1 SETUPLDR.BIN are identical to them. As an alternative it is possible to use Bootable CD Wizard that supports the loading of I386\SETUPLDR.BIN without using the Microsoft bootsectors and not dependent on the presence/absence of version numbers in the file names.

more frequently as Windows XP computers near the end of their working lives. Symptoms - Very soon after the computer is turned on you see one of the following error messages:‘NTLDR is missing Press any key to restart' ‘NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart' ‘Boot: Couldn't find NTLDR Please insert another disk'They all mean the same thing - Windows was unable to start because it could not find the NTLDR file - a critical file that it needs to start up. Note: this article applies only to Windows XP! Vista and Windows 7 do not use a NTLDR file.There are several causes but the most common (due to the age of old XP computers) is now:1. Corruption/loss of the NTLDR file due to a failing hard drive. Fixing the NTLDR problem may help Windows start in the short term but, if the hard drive is failing, you may get more errors (or total failure) in the near future 🙁Other possible causes include:2. Trying to boot (start) from a non-bootable source - typically a non-bootable CD, USB drive, memory card or even an old floppy disc. 3. Misconfigured boot.ini file. 4. Loose or faulty IDE hard drive ribbon data cable.How To Fix It - Work through the potential fixes in this order - test after each one by restarting the computer to see if Windows now loads up successfully:Starting from non-bootable source - Remove any CD/DVD disks and memory cards or floppy disks that are in the computer. Unplug any USB drives from the computer e.g. external hard drive, flash drive, digital camera, smartphone, printer (if it has an integrated card reader) etc - if you have a USB mouse and/or keyboard, leave them connected as they are needed to start up.Corruption/Loss of the NTLDR file - Restore the NTLDR file and also the NTDETECT.COM file from an XP installation CD - ntdetect.com is another critical file that is needed to start Windows. If NTLDR needs replacing you should replace ntdetect.com too:A. Insert the XP bootable installation CD into your computer (borrow the CD from a friend if you don't have one)B. Boot from this CD - if you don't know how to boot (start) the computer from a CD, here is a simple guide on how to do itC. As the computer starts, you are prompted to ‘Press any key to boot from CD' - press an
