Your error is: "NTLDR is Missing; Press any key to restart"
Cause:
1. Computer is booting from a non-bootable source.
2. Computer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS.
3. Corrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file.
4. Misconfiguration with the boot.ini file.
5. Attempting to upgrade from a Windows 95, 98, or ME
computer that is using FAT32.
6. New hard disk drive being added.
7. Corrupt boot sector / master boot record.
8. Seriously corrupted version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
9. Loose or Faulty IDE/EIDE hard disk drive cable.
Solutions:
1. verify that no floppy disketteis in the computer and no usb
storage device is connected.
2. Verify that your computer hard disk drive is properly setup in
the BIOS / CMOS setup.
3. If you have Windows XP:
Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD,
press any key.
Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to
repair Windows.
Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and
pressing enter.
You will then be prompted for your administrator password,
enter that password.
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 "E". This letter may be different
on your computer.
copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
Once both of these files have been successfully copied,
remove the CD from the computer and reboot.
4. Edit the boot.ini on the root directory of the hard disk drive and
verify that it is pointing to the correct location of your Windows
Operating System and that the partitions are properly defined.
5. If you are getting this error message while you are attempting
to upgrade to Windows 2000 or Windows XP from Windows
95, Windows 98, or Windows ME running FAT32 please try
the below recommendations.
Boot the computer with a Windows 95, Windows 98 or
Windows ME bootable diskette.
At the A:\> prompt type:
sys c:
After pressing enter you should receive the "System
Transferred" message. Once this has been completed
remove the floppy diskette and reboot the computer.
6. If you are attempting to add a new hard disk drive to the
computer make sure that drive is a blank drive. Adding a new
hard disk drive to a computer that already has Windows
installed on it may cause the NTLDR error to occur.
7. It's possible your computer's hard disk drive may have a
corrupt boot sector and/or master boot record. These can be
repaired through the Microsoft Windows Recovery console by
running the fixboot and fixmbr commands.
8. If you have tried each of the above recommendations that
apply to your situation and you continue to experience this
issue it is possible you may have a seriously corrupted
version of Microsoft Windows. Therefore we would
recommend you reinstall Microsoft Windows 2000 and
Windows XP.
9. This issue has been known to be caused by a loose or fault
IDE/EIDE cable. If the above recommendation does not
resolve your issue and your computer hard disk drive is using
an IDE or EIDE interface. Verify the computer hard disk drive
cable is firmly connected by disconnected and reconnecting
the cable.
If the issue continues it is also a possibility that the computer
has a faulty cable, try replacing the hard disk drive cable with
another cable and/or a new cable.
