HP Desktop 400 G1 MT / Missing NTLDR

My new office 400 GT MT has four USB ports on the back.   Two are used to the keyboard and mouse.  I wabt using one of the other two empty USB ports which are in the rear for an external hard drive, like I did my old p6130y of Pavilion.

However, when I do this, the 400 office attempts to Boot on the external hard drive.  ?!?!

Received error message: attempt to boot from the USB device.  NTLDR is missing.

This may seem like not a big deal - just use one of the USBs fromt - but I want set and forget the HD position which is always accessible and I don't want that it always stick to the front of the unit.

Old computer has Win 7 Pro.

Office 400 has Win 7 Pro.

The problem only occurs when you use the back USBs for the HD position.

Can it be fixed by adjusting some sort of setting in?

Thank you.

Yes - disable "start the system from removable media" should solve the problem you are experiencing.  Even if the hard drive is not normally removable, since it is an external connection, it would be considered a removable media.

  • Missing NTLDR and access is denied in the Repair Console

    My main problem is the missing NTLDR.  My secondary problem receives a message access denied while typing instructions at the BACK window in the Repair Console.  Every step of the way has been a 'problem' for me.

    The c: drive letter is also the XP disc?

    Lets assume that it is. (You can list the contents of the drive in courses and folder with the "dir" command)

    You should be able to view the content of the root '-' folder and the "\windows" folder

    On the repair of type Console:

    1 c: , then cd-(now we are at the root of drive c :)

    2 attrib - r s h ntldr (this will create the file ├a suppressible State)

    3 del ntldr (deletes the file)

    Change the attributes to ntdetect.com and delete it.

    Now, try to copy the two files from the CD to c: drive again

    You can use the command "fixboot c:" and fixmbr to repair the system partition boot sector, and the Table of primary Partition if you cannot always start after you copy the ntldr and ntdetect.com files

  • Missing NTLDR reported in Windows XP SP3 and SATA disks only

    Two days ago my PC refuses to start and I got the error NTLDR not found. Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart. My computer got only SATA hard drives and these are not detected by my Windows XP CDROM for a reboot to CD. The system reports no disk found.

    I am able to get my PC running using the HIRENS boot disk. This isn't a permanent solution and I need help to get back on track again.

    Can I just start my PC using HIREN and then insert the Windows CDROM and use the following commands at the CMD window BACK line?

    COPY C: X:i386NTLDR
    COPY C: X:i386NTDETECT.com

    Where X is the letter of the CD ROM drive

    Then restart my PC and this work? I don't want to ruin my system so I need some advice please.

  • View VM 4.0.1 - Offline Desktop, "Check Out" option missing?

    Hello

    I'm currently trialing VM view 4.0.1 but I seem to lack the 'Check Out' of my VM option.

    I try to connect from an XP SP3 32-bit Client (with option installed offline), an XP SP2 32 bit VM with the agent installed (with currently out option also).

    My display manager has the Agent computer virtual defined as an office induvidual with 1 single user more to him and Offline Desktop are allowed in the policy. Offline Desktop also shows that licesensed in config because it is a path of 60 days license.

    As far as I can see on my client, I should have the option to 'check' my vm but its is currently not visible. I've seen a few posts similar to this problem, but none with a resolution - although 1 suggested the option has appeared during installation a correct license key Check-Out. I'm currently waiting on our buyer untangle a genuine license but despite this, I expect this function runs in the trial... that is the question!

  • Satellite A200-1AX (PSAE6) NTLDR missing after backup retoring

    Hello my computer toshiba laptop A200-1AX (PSAE6) it came with Vista pre installed but I installed windows xp on it.
    Everything went well and I used acronis true image 11 home to perform a backup.

    Yesterday I tried to change my driver letter, and he told me that I can not change the letter.
    Then when I rebooted after awhile my windows would be stuck on the Welcome screen... then I tried to restore the backup with acronis bootable media... after the restore is completed and tried to boot, I have ntldr missing :(

    What has gone wrong? Can I register my cell phone from another format?

    Don t think that it would be able to solve this problem without reinstallation of the OS.

  • Satellite A15-S129 won't start CD - message NTLDR missing

    I decided to do a new installation on my Satellite A15-S129 neighbors. After trying all sorts of ways, I decided to remove the hard drive and reformat my computer. When I put in the satellite, I expected to boot from the cd since the hard drive was empty, but no, I get the "missing ntldr message.

    The Bios does not have the cursor move on the part where I could change the boot order. When I start the computer, I can't press f2 or f12 to change the boot order.

    After no luck I just started doing all sorts of things to solve problems. A: I notice if I remove the hard drive and let the empty slot, I get error IDE, and then SURPRISE!
    The boot goes to the Conference on disarmament, BUT just at the point where I thought I could just install, I get the screen that says lack of hard drive, even though I pressed and push the HDD.

    Why the computer insists on the conduct of one thing: starting from windows xp, even if the disk is the Bank.

    Why I can't, or rather, how can he blow up the hard drive and move to the cd drive?

    I've never been stumpted like this before! Please help, my neighbour will have my head!

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive is ok because you were able to access it from another computer.

    But a question; How connect you and format the HARD drive internal on another computer?

    But to the A15 motorway. It s very strange that you are not able to access the BIOS and that it of not possible to change the boot order. nor by the F2 or F12 key.
    But wait this BIOS has been installed on this laptop? Phoenix BIOS or Toshiba?
    To access the Phoenix BIOS you need to press "F2", but to access the Toshiba BIOS, you must press ESC then F1.

    In any case, due to your description, I guess the hardware malfunction causes this problem.
    Maybe a problem of controller, HARD drive or other tiny part of the motherboard does not work

    I think that the technician should take a look on this laptop, and maybe he'll find the source of error.

  • Error - NTLDR missing Windows XP Home computer does not start.

    Original title: XP-based computer does not start.

    XP Home does not start after I uninstalled a large file of Samsung mobile phone. I get a missing NTLDR error message and have had a System32 error as well, but there is no DOS prompt that would allow me to access anything whatsoever. Another problem is that I lost my installation CD. I initially bought this Dell PC nine over 6 years ago, so can provide identification details, if necessary program. Could someone tell me how I can make a recovery CD please? (No floppy drive not installed in the PC). To further complicate things (Yes, I know - I created many more problems that we all need), I have to keep my files on the hard disk, so cannot do a complete reformat, unless someone can tell how to save them somehow. My BACK skills could be summed up as "plodder inexperienced but determined!

    The file might be missing or it could just be that XP can't find it if your file system has somehow got corrupted.

    As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    System32 error, you see, is what exactly?

    Depends on a few factors, there could be another copy of the file NTLDR in other places on your system, but you have to start on something to find out whether there is or not.

    After answering the above questions, I begin to make a CD from Recovery Console bootable XP by running a chkdsk/r, first on your HARD drive and then see what is left to do.

    Here's how:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • How can I fix "NTLDR is missing" for free

    I get the message "NTLDR is missing". Where can I download this fix for free?

    If you have a genuine bootable CD install XP, you can get the file from there.

    Given that most of the people have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, if you need an idea and a method to replace then drop without the genuine XP bootable installation CD.

    If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, I would locate a replacement on a working system file or download it, copy it to a USB device or a diskette and then just use the Recovery Console to replace the missing file and be on your way.

    I would also recommend that you use the Recovery Console to run chkdsk /r on your system.

    You can then copy the missing ntldr file from a functional system or download it on my SkyDrive:

    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.Office.live.com/Browse.aspx/.documents?UC=1

    Place the file ntldr on a USB device or the floppy drive, boot your system on a CD from Recovery Console or a Hiren boot CD you can do (no XP media required for either) and simply copy the file missing to your system and still be on your way.

    Everything is free.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Do, or do not. There is no test.
