Ntldr Is Missing

So basically tonight I got the ingenius idea of trying to "delete" Ubuntu (Linux) from my computer, so I figured I'd delete the partition that I created when I set up the dual boot on my laptop. So after ****ing around with the partition manager, I decided to restart my computer. Bad idea. Now when I turn on my laptop, the first thing I see is "NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" and only that.

I don't have my Windows XP disc or anything like that, so I really don't know what to do. Help?

If the windows XP is still installed then you will need to restore the boot manager, you can try GAG, a graphical boot manager, it won't restore it rather replace it but should do the trick

http://gag.sourceforge.net/

NOTE: messing with the boot manger can cause unfixable problems with your HDD, and should not be done lightly. I can't be held responsible for any problems caused by the above information

Last time I was playing with my boot sequence and I also had this problem. There wasn't much alternatives to solve this problem so I went to reformat my computer. I prefer reformating because it is more direct way of solving this problem.

However if you do not want to reformat, I suggest you to refer to these articles :

can you use command console of windows?
i can give you some instant and useful methods as follows:

1.insert your 2000/xp setup CD into cd-rom to go into recovery console
2.after that,you would arrived at the dos mode(assume that your system located in C: and cd-rom is H:)
3.type: copy h:\\i386\\ntldr c:\\ (to copy ntldr from cd to C:)
4.type: copy h:\\i386\\ntdetect.com c:\\ (to copy ntdetect.com form cd to C:);then if there appear a seletion,chose "Y";
5.that'ok and type [color=blue]c:\\Boot.ini[/blue] to check the boot file
6.reboot


good luck!

I have gotten this for having an external harddrive attached while I reboot my computer. I have no idea what it is, or why it has anything to do with it. But, try unplugging all your USB devices and see if that helps. blink.gif

you need to repair you master boot record (mbr).
boot from your xp installation disc.
press R to repair.
at the command prompt type fixmbr to overwrite the maste boot record.
you can also try fixboot from the command prompt to replace the hdd boot sector.

i had similar problems when i installed suse9.1 on my laptop , none of the above worked i had to format and reinstall windows. even then i still had the ntldr problem , but i could reinstall suse9.1 and boot into that without any problems.
it was only when i went into the bios and changed the hdd bootup settings from auto to lba that i managed to get my hdd to boot again into xp.

Replying to Hellmonkeys YES! Make sure you check that. I have ubuntu and windows on my computer. Since I just installed both I am taking turns installing and fixing stuff so they can run better. After installing drivers off an external hard drive in windows I go to restart and whats this? "NTLDR is missing." I have no idea. I read this thread, consider formatting my hard drive. Then I realize that I have my external HD plugged in still.

I unplugged my external HD and the problem was solved. So try that.

I too lost ntldr, and rather than reformat or muck around with the command line, I just used a copy of GAG that I conveniently had lying around on a CD. wink.gif
Worked very well, and in fact I still have it installed on that computer, (which is my sons), with dual boot ubuntu XP pro.
A better idea would have been to maybe restore the MBR from within windows first, and then using paragon or some such partition tool to del the partition from windows as well.

ntldr file is missing
Ntldr Is Missing

IN this case what I have learnt to insert the xp cd and reboot your pc when give you option for installation prss enter just do it after that select c and then [select the last option format with no changes] this will only reinstall your windows xp without formating any file it means you will not loss any file or document

 

Thankyu

NTLDR is mising AND CAN
Ntldr Is Missing

Sorry for the lengthy question but I want to give an accurate description as possible so hopefully someone can help me. Last night I decided to reformat my hard drive and start from scratch (Toshiba Satellite notebook utilizing Windows XP Home Edition) at first I tried to run the XP CD right from the start menu. It DID boot up at which point I was asked for a product key. I then remembered “wait I can’t do it from here I have to do it from the start up.”I shut the computer down and restarted it. Upon entering the setup I could not delete the partition (it said files were being used) this led me to think that I was in fact still booting from the hard drive and not the CD. I COULD NOT get it to boot from the CD. (Using a generic XP CD) I even changed the primary boot up drive to CD-ROM as the primary instead of the hard drive. Still no luck, the hard drive was then extracted and stuck into an external case and then formatted via another computer. The PROBLEM??? Upon sticking the hard drive back in I am now receiving a message that states NTLDR (NT loader is missing) press Ctrl+ALT+Delete to restart. This would seem normal because the hard drive is no longer there being that I formatted it from the external case. So I assumed two things, either it is still trying to boot off the hard drive or the CD-ROM is bad (however I don’t believe it’s a bad CD drive because if you recall I was able to boot from the start up menu at which point I was asked for a product key) So I am assuming the CD drive is good. Still to be safe I did take out and swap the CD drive (thinking it might be bad) but still same message as above. I replaced it back with the original CD drive because I am pretty sure it is not the drive. So now I am stuck. I can’t get it to boot from the CD drive no matter what I do Any suggestions? Thank you kindly everyone for their help. -reply by Chris

ntldl file missing solution
Ntldr Is Missing

Windows XP users

  1. Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
  2. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
  3. Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
  4. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
  5. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
  6. 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, which in this case is "e." This letter may be different on your computer.

    copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
    Copy e:\i386\ntdetect.Com c:\

  7. Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.
