NTLDR Missing

Hi,

Make sure you've got the jumpers on the cdrom drive set correctly. ie. the same as the drive you replaced.

Cheers,
Tim.

Perhaps in adding the new drive, Windows got confused and labeled the CDROM drive as the "active" drive letter. It is the active partition that Windows tries to boot from. And if it tries to boot from the CDROM and the Windows files (including NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM and BOOT.INI) are not there, your system will not boot.

You can also try making a Windows 2000 boot disk. Just copy NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM and BOOT.INI from another Windows 2000 machine (or extract them from the CD), and make sure the ARC pathing in BOOT.INI matches up with the pathing on your Advanced Server (the typicalARC path, where Windows is installed on C:\WINNT, looks like this:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Server" /fastdetect

Hope this helps.

ok this was my problem I had a bootvirus known as nyb, for some reason once it was fixed, the message never came back & all is well goto antivirus.com or if you got (virus protection) it boot into dos and run in

good luck

if you made e.r.d than you could boot from cd and whan prompt insert erd .
another way is to copy ntldr from another machine
and use cmd consol to copy it to disk.
last one is to let setup to try and fix the problem .
