Method 1: Use a Boot Disk to Start the Computer

Create a Windows 2000 boot disk that contains the following files:
Ntldr
Ntdetect.com
Boot.ini
Ntbootdd.sys

Modify the Boot.ini file to point to the correct hard disk controller and to the correct volume for your Windows installation.For additional information about how to create a boot disk, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
311578 HOW TO: Edit the Boot.ini File in Windows 2000

Insert the boot disk into the computer's floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer.
Copy the Ntldr file, the Ntdetect.com file, and the Boot.ini file from the boot disk to the system partition of the local hard disk.

I will assume that you are using Windows XP based on the hardware description, and I have seen this before. If you have the XP cd, boot from the CD, go into the recovery console, and get a new copy of ntldr from the cd i386 folder and place it in the root of the system drive, exit the recovery console and reboot the PC and it should start back up for you.

I had this problem before and tried everything, but finally, I found a solution.

the system files should be in a specific location in your drive, so to put them back, do the following:

-Backup your primary partition to another drive

-reformat your drive and install a fresh copy of win2000

-delete the created windows directory, but leave all files in the root.
ntldr
ntdetect
boot.ini
...

-restore the files from the backup, but make sure not to overwrite any file in the root that was created by the win2000 installation otherwise you'll get this problem again.

I am using Pentium IV :Processor: Memory 256MB
When i try to start my computer,i receieved the
folowing error message.

NTLDR is missing
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart.

I was told to obtain the bcupdate2 utility to
resolve this problem. But i didnt manage to
locate the utility from the microsoft product
support services.i am unsure about how to use it
even if i got it.My question is if there is any
efficient methods to resolve this problem or the
easiest way.

I've developed an easy answer (for free too).

There is a file at my site you download that is used to create a boot floppy (or CD-ROM if you don't have a floppy drive) that bypasses the boot files on the hard drive to get back into Windows.

Once you get back into Windows you can copy new boot files over, or backup your data (which is the important part).

the site is:

If you don't trust downloading a file from a website, you can make a boot floppy by formatting it in an NT OS, copy over boot.ini, ntldr, and ntdetect.com from a similar computer and using it to boot up.

(My site describes it better and gets frequently updated, if it helps you, please donate)

Hello sir, now reboot your PC and insert the windows xp home/pro sp0-sp3 whichever version you have into the cd tray and close the cd tray, then "press any key to boot from CD..." and wait for the windows disk to scan your computers components. Then press R to repair the drive, when you have load R press 1 for your C:\WINDOWS drive and press enter. once you enter your administrator password and press enter, type bootfix and when it says your are about to write over the boot sector type Y and hit enter. reboot your pc and in my computer right click on your hard drive and defragment the bitch. then also go to error checking and select "automatically fix w/e" then reboot and let your computer scan and fix your files. you should be all done. I know that when I overclocking this happened to me twice, and I was playing a game through the program steam.

Hope this helped
