"NTLDR is missing"... do you have I wipe all my father-in-law laptop?

I tried to make a backup in the file of my father-in-law 2006 hp laptop running Windows XP. It would allow me to make the backup file, so I clicked 'OK' and the computer restarted. When he returned, the error message "NTLDR is missing" came. The corrupted backup file does not appear on my external hard drive.

What should I do?

This problem happens all the time.

  • NTLDR is missing - when you try to install Windows 7 on another hard drive

    I have a PC Compaq Presario SR2027X a/w Win XP Media Center Edition SP3 installed.  I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to determine if WIN 7 would go on my system.  The airport of Win 7 Upgrade Advisor said that I could install Win 7.  I bought Win 7 32 bit and 2-1 GB PC5300 memory sticks.  I first installed the memory and booted up the system.  Everything worked well.  BIOS has seen the new memory and I have not encountered any error.

    I then turning the system off and removed the HDD (120 GB Sata).  I installed another hard drive (160 GB Sata) which had been restructured and ready to use.  The BIOS detects the hard drive and the BIOS has been changed for a start of the OPTICAL drive.  I then placed the WIN 7 32-bit software disk in the OPTICAL drive and saved the changes in BIOS and rebooted the system.  I was expecting to see the normal WIN 7 screens during the installation.  Instead, I got "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart".

    Then I tried pressing ESC during boot to enter the boot menu.  Once in the boot menu, I select the optical drive and now I get the message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER".  I opened and close the optical drive optical drive light lights up, and I then press on enter.  I get the same message on "DISK BOOT FAILURE,...» ».

    I built more than 40 PC and have never had this problem.  Is there something unique about Compaq/HP PC's that prevents me to install WIN 7 on another hard drive that is not the original hard drive came with this pc?

    HP / Compaq computers are no different from any other computer on the market. You can install Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 on almost all made within the last 7 years.

    I think that your problem is due to a failure of CD/DVD drive or disk installation of Windows 7 corrupt or unbootable. Please check that the CD/DVD drive is fully functional and functional as should be. Also, check that your Windows 7 disc is free of errors and that it is bootable. If necessary, you can download a Windows 7 SP1 ISO from HERE and HERE and also download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool.

    Is your system error free?

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

  • You have to download all the programs twice?

    With CC, if you run it on two PC - I guess it is still allowed - have you download the installer for all of the following twice - one for each PC?

    Where can I download it to a PC and use the exe to install on the second PC?

    My second PC is not a good internet connection (just to validate / save programs) and will not, therefore, be able to download all programs without waiting more than a day!

    Someone at - he had an experience of this?

    Hi Missteach,

    I'm sorry that I misunderstood your request. For the next release, we have creative cloud package and you can download it on one machine and install on other machines.

    Hope this clears your doubt.

  • Error - NTLDR is missing from the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: difficulty ntldr missing.

    I don't have xp recovery disk. I get lack ntldr message at startup. How can I fix wihout disc?

    Since the MS Answers forum does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  What makes which gives good ideas for extremely difficult solution.

    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?

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

    You can create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required) and start the XP Recovery Console.

    The chances are pretty good that there is a copy of the NTLDR file on your system to another location, so you can replace the missing file.

    The file is supposed to be like c:\ntldr c:\ root folder (note there is no file for the ntldr file extension) but of course your seems to have developed missing.

    If your system is preinstalled with XP there is probably a folder c:\i386 on your system and that there should be a copy of the file in folder c:\i386 NTLDR.

    If you have installed Service Pack 3 download Internet via the World Wide Web Wide, there will be a copy of the NTLDR file in this folder:

    c:\Windows\ServicepackFiles\i386

    Once you get started the recovery console and you ran chkdsk/r, I would see if these commands will work for you to replace the missing file:

    copy c:\i386\ntldr c:\

    or

    copy c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\ntldr c:\

    Here's how to make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and I would run the chkdsk /r FIRST to make sure that your file system is not damaged.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

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

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    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:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    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.

  • FN bar does not appear after you have reinstalled Windows on Satellite A200

    Hello.
    First of all, sorry if my English is not very good, but I am French.
    After a format, I installed some of the drivers of Toshiba. But, I'm not the bar at the top of the screen when I press the "fn". So I would like to know how the driver I need to install to have this bar.
    PS: I have a Satellite A200.
    Thank you for your help and I hope that you will understand me.

    Hello

    Do not install some drivers but all only if you want to use all the features of Toshiba laptops ;)

    The visible bar that controls the FN keys is Toshiba Vista Flashcards.
    You can find this utility in the Toshiba value added package.

    But note; the common Modules located in the package of Toshiba value added too must be installed first!
