  Hello

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  I suggest you try Startup Repair.

  Startup Repair is a Windows 7 recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged, that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

  If you have a Windows 7 installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you restart your computer from the disc, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  If you have a Windows 7 installation disc:

  1: Insert the installation disc.

  2: restart your computer.

  3: click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.

  If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  4: Choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  5: click on repair your computer.

  invite you to make choices as it tries to solve the problem, and if necessary, he could

  Restart your computer, because it makes the repairs.

  1: Remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your

  computer.

  restart the computer. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the

  Windows logo, you will need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon

  prompt, then stop and restart your computer.

  If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the

  the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

  3: on the screen Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to highlight repair your

  computerand press ENTER. (If repair your computer is not listed as an option,

  then your computer does not include startup as a preinstalled recovery option repair.)

  Hi THOBO90,

  1. When did you start to question?

  This problem may occur if the MFT root folder is very fragmented. If the MFT root folder contains many files, the MFT might become fragmented to an additional allocation index is created.

  Try the following steps to resolve the problem:

  Step 1:

  Boot with the Windows XP CD in Recovery Console.

  b. Copy NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM on C: drive i386 folder.

  c. attempts to boot to the desktop.

  If not able, follow these steps.

  Step 2:

  In Recovery Console, run 8 following commands (press ENTER after each line):

  a. CD of the

  b. ATTRIB C:\boot.ini h

  c. ATTRIB C:\boot.ini-s

  d. ODILE r C:\boot.ini

  e. del boot.ini

  f. BOOTCFG /Rebuild

  g. Add to the startup folder

  Step 3:

  If you can start Windows, but get a message saying that the boot.ini file is not valid.

  a.Create a new boot.ini in Notepad and saved on the hard drive.

  EXAMPLE:

• 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.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

  I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

  While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

  I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

  Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

  I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

  I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

  I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

  This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

  I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

  I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

  I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

  I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

  And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

  Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

  Thank you

  When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

  If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

  go here for instructions on deleting the recovery console.

  Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

  Courtesy of JoseIbarra

  You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

  Here's how:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  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 what you have (no XP media required).

  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:

  RC. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

  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.

  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.

  ===============

  as for the other problems:

  did you use Registry cleaners?

  These can damage your system

  You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

  ===============

  Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

• NTLDR is missing - windows xp professional

  recceving error "NTLDR is missing".

  I searched through the various articles on the support site and I can't seem to understand even where to start. I can't go to the command line to run executable files and I don't have a boot disk. I copied a bootdisk from Microsoft, and it does not on the machine no more (although I don't know if I copied it on the disc properly). Honestly, I am new on most of this, but if given a little instruction I could walk through it pretty easily.

  If you have data on the computer that has not been saved and checked as good, I recommend strongly that you are trying to get a backup of the data before doing anything else for the reader.  You can remove the drive and put it in an external USB enclosure of a type that will take care of your player (type IDE (PATA) or SATA) and copy the files to another computer before attempting to repair your disk.  If you make a mistake you could very well lose all data on the disk.  A good backup system is necessary even if you have only one computer.  Prevents data loss.
