"NTLDR is missing" Pavilion dv9008nr new HDD

Hard drive crashed.  Just installed new HARD drive.  Has started the recovery with disk 1, when you are prompted to insert the disc 2 computer off then when restarted screen says

NTLDR is missing

Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete

CTRL + Alt + Del restarts with the same message.

Was able to run diagnostics on the HARD drive, spent.

hmmmmmmmmm... what to do then?

Thanks in advance

Take it back to the Geek Squad and demand that they restore from a Xp disc. We had a long thread on this not too long back. Best Buy is demanding more money for 'optimize' systems point of sale, and if they charge you to make the restore disc that they should stand behind it. Otherwise exactly what you pay for?

  • Install the new HARD drive, download "NTLDR is missing".

    Finally found my Windows XP reinstallation CD and tried to install on a new hard drive, so I wouldn't have to worry about losing data on the former had his corrupt Windows Installer which can recover files at my ease once that I operate.

    This is the problem... I can't to start from the reinstallation CD and get the message "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart" dreaded. Is it fair that I have to do a simple "Format [drive]: / s" on it while it is in the caddy, then stuff in something like oakcdrom.sys and edit autoexec.bat to load, or y at - it something else, I have to find a way to put it out there?

    Or is it after recovery by user and time to call the Geek Squad?

    You may need the disk to zero so that there are no partitions.  The installation of Windows may refuse initialize a disk if it detects unknown (to her) partitions on the disk.  The diagnostic partition occupies entire disk?  Otherwise, you can perform a custom installation, installing Windows allows you to create a partition, and then install direct to place Windows in there.

  • Cloned new HDD for Pavilion 1210.uk does not start

    I am new to the forum so Hi everyone.

    I just installed a new HDD (SATA) to my office. BIOS identiified unit correctly and I cloned using HDClone software. He succeeded with 0 read and write errors. All files are accessed through drive letter access. So far so good, I thought. I then tried to boot from the disc again by changing the BIOS boot order. Hoewver, when the trunk begins with the new PC HARD drive crashes with a white/black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It is the logo of Microsoft and o/s linen starts (XP).

    Some additional information:

    * Old HARD drive still boots without problem with or without the new drive.

    * I changed the transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB being the SATA 2 drive. That made no difference, then changed back.

    I don't know what is wrong, someone has also experienced this or knows what is the problem?

    Thanks for reading.

    The cloned system was not built with PATA and SATA drivers.  This could be the problem. You still get the blinking cursor?  You can send an email to technical support HDClone and ask of PATA, SATA problem of cloning.

  • 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.

  • HP Deskpro 405 G2: ntldr is missing

I have a Maxtor 500 GB HDD attached and which caused no problems on the first couple of reboots. I plugged in my phone to load and the error message received when you restart.

I would get a good answer, insofar as what is happening instead of trying this and that corrects. Thanks if anyone can help out me.

    Hello

    Disconnect all devices not HP.  Your computer is trying to boot from a non bootable device.  You will probably have to reorganize the default settings of the boot device.

    You can always connect external USB devices after startup.

  • NTLDR is missing after using the recovery disc - Satellite A100-493

    Hello

    I come from Germany and I have a Toshiba Satellite Notebook, which I bought new in 2006.

    After nearly three years, he started showing problems and slow, so I backed up my files and inserted the "Product recovery" CD that came with the laptop. I followed the Instructions and it began to unwind. After that about 1%, it displays a short Error Message, which I was not able to write down again and stops.

    When I restart the computer says ist «NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart» When I do that it shows me the same "NTLDR is missing" Message, no matter how many times I reboot the thing.

    I tried to redo the whole fotmatting, but it always comes out the same way. What di - I do?

    G Demolidor

    It's very strange. If the recovery disk is not damaged the only reason for interruption of the installation may be faulty HARD drive or some problem there.
    If possible, try to get Microsoft WXP CD facilities and try to install Windows XP Home edition.

    Please let us know if the installation completes without any problems.

  • Error NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart

    Hello

    I am extremely embarrassed to admit the following and ridiculously angry at myself for doing something completely stupid as I did, but's done it now... sigh...

    I have NTLDR is missing - press ctrl alt del to restart error of nightmare.

    This is how it happened. I need (ed) to reformat my hard drive, but first I was going to save everything. I save every so often, that now, I'm not near as often as I should! (last to the top was sigh 21/05/07). Well, not to think, instead of backup, I put the recovery cd in the drive and the screen came up saying: "loading ramdisk" then I got to the next screen basically asking if I wanted to restore out of the box or not. I chose the first step of the wizard who said out of the box. Then I clicked NEXT and realized that I had not backed up my files! So I cancelled out of the restore cd Wizard.

    When I rebooted the computer, I got the error above nightmare.

    I did research for many, many hours on how to repair or at least be able to start windows. I did the following:

    1 creates a disk with ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini boot disk on it to restore, I all but I don't know if the dates say anything on those downloaded from another laptop

    It did not work I still came upward with the same error or some other errors one pointing to hal\something. I don't know if it's my boot.ini that causes the problem or what. Oh, by the way, I went into the BIOS and made sure the computer started up to FDD first when you try the floppy option.

    [boot loader]
    timeout = 30
    default = multi (0) disk (0)

    Hello

    It s a delicate and stupid situation.
    The simplest solution would be the formatting of HARD drive and new reinstallation of the operating system.

    But it seems you want to save all files available on the HARD disk.
    If all goes well it s not too late

    Hmmm. I think you have only one chance! You must remove the drive HARD internal of the laptop and try to connect it to the computer second external USB controller!
    This part is not expensive and can be ordered from each book.
    You should be able to get access to the HARD drive removed from the laptop...

    After this procedure, the HARD drive must be formatted as NTFS, and any partition must be deleted!
    Then you should try to start from the windows installation procedure or the restore CD.

    By the way; I study a little bit in the Microsoft database and found these two documents:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/318728
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314057

    Maybe some advice described in these documents may be useful.

    Good luck

  • NTLDR is missing - T61

    Hello

    I copied mistalkenly file associated with ntduser and others in my C: / drive in a folder. At the next reboot it made me get this message "NTLDR is missing".

    Now that I know to move the file ntuser.dat from my location of folder in C: / location, but how can I do. I don't have the XP CD, nothing like that was given to me when I bought it.

    Please let me know if there is a way to open the prompt at boot time so that I can copy the file and restart once again?

    ideas? pls help!

    You can start the computer from a linux live CD free and move the files. Try ubuntu.com, burn it to a CD-ROM disc and start with the option to not change anything on your system. It will only run linux from the CD and you will be able to access all your drives and folders.

    There is no way to start a command without OS work prompt

    Worst case if you need a copy of windows, I may be able to help, if necessary send me a PM and we can discuss it, but as long as you know exactly how to fix a bootdisc linux would be easier. Another option would be a CD WinPE (preinstallation envionment). Similar to a live CD of linux, it will let you use windows on a CD-ROM disc, but a large part of the BONE has been paralyzed for cannot it be used as a complete operating system, Linux however IS a complete operating system and can be run from the cdrom, usb or HDD.

  • 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.

    ==========

    you are fully updated and patched to Microsoft updates?

    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.
  • NTLDR is missing in windows xp

    Hello

    I write a problem with Windows XP in the name of customer. Here's the concern:

    "NTLDR is missing occurs and that all the drivers have been removed." How can I access the drivers? ». The customer is this error after the computer starts. In addition to this, all its drivers have been removed from the computer.

    Please let us know how this issue can be better addressed. Thank you.

    Since it seems that you are a regular user of MS Answers forums and since it is a quite common problem and it can usually be resolved quickly given enough information, I offer these tips for this problem and future messages on Windows XP related problems:

    When to ask a question, at least in the associated XP forums, you will get much more far much more quickly if you provide some basic information about the system afflicted when you ask the question.  This will keep people who you will have to ask a lot of questions and may prevent you from getting ideas that are impossible to work.

    Here's what MS Answers forums do not ask allows you for it to solve difficult problems and that you always have to provide if you can:

    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?

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

    Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

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

    If you will have provided all information with this new question, you could be done now, so answer these questions and you will get more responses very targeted and focused.

    There is nothing wrong with the volunteer response J, except that it requires you to have a true bootable installation CD (and if all goes well with a Service Pack that matches the Service Pack installed on the afflicted system).

    Given that most people don't seem to have it, you can also use the ideas that will work for this problem when a true bootable installation CD is not available.

    If your system does not start, will also not you edit your boot.ini file.

    You might want to also not to run the fixmbr command if the system afflicted since a factory installed recovery partition which will scan the installed recovery partition at the factory.

    @Volunteer j: have you ever tried this idea of tinyempire to see if it works?

    You have to deliberately break your system is renaming or removing your NTLDR file to see, so I was just wondering if you have actually done this...  I would fix the problem another sense, while (this thing has too much 'try' in it).

    I guess I could give it a whirl myself (the daredevil I am)... just curious.
