• 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

  Dells have generally 3 partition boot disks:

  • A hidden Dell utility Partition
  • The Partition of the OS (Windows)
  • A hidden the Dell PC Restore Partition

  One of you is afflicted.

  Have you had a power failure these days?

  This symptom of NTLDR missing is quite common

  It could be that the file is really missing, or it could be that XP don't "find" it because the file system is damaged and you must simply run a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.

  If you have no real XP bootable installation CD to enter the Recovery Console, look in the tutorials section for how to make a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).

  Then use the Recovery Console to verify the integrity of your file system.

  You can run "fixboot" from the XP Recovery Console CD.

  You DO NOT need to run "fixmbr" However for who could destroy scores of Dell and just leave you with a XP partition.

  Check out the tutorial describing the question "NTLDR is missing", and then apply these methods of troubleshooting and resolution first.

  Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  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?

  Oh and I do not computer language can you please make it simple for me...

  Thank you!!

  Here is the download of recovery for Vista instead of Windows7 drive: http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/.  The thing is, I'm not sure you can use this drive for a boot recovery - you need an Installation of Vista disc.

  If you can get your hands on an Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc, then here are some procedures to fix the BOOTMGR missing (you can try repair system with the Neosmart disk but honestly, I don't think that will work - you need to do the other procedure):

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ·        Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

  To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  2. press a key when you are prompted.

  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  4. click on repair your computer.

  5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

  6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

  7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

  ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  ·        c:

  ·        Boot CD

  ·        BCD attrib s h - r

  ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  ·        Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

  Hello

  You try to install Windows XP on the computer?

  BootMGR is not part of Windows XP. This is the file of boot loader for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

  Method 1:

  If you try to install Windows XP, you can go ahead and try to reinstall Windows XP from the CD and check if that helps.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Note: perform a clean install only if you have no data on the hard drive.

  Method 2:

  See the article and check if that helps:

  Original title: Hello World!

  Hello

  Try the following steps:

  When the system file bootmgr is compressed, it can not be used. Windows is not able to boot without loading the non compressed version of this file. If you receive an error message that the BOOTMGR is compressed press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart, reset the boot sector of Windows since the installation of the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.

  To do this, follow these steps.

  a. load the operating system Microsoft Windows XP CD/DVD into the optical disk drive. Follow the on-screen instructions by pressing any key to boot from the CD-ROM.
  b. go to the XP Recovery Console and select command prompt.
  c. Type fixboot and press the o button to select.
  d. Type exit to exit the command prompt and restart the computer.

  After the system restarts, the error message should not appear, and the problem should be solved.

• Satellite Pro 4600: disk-read error occurs - press Ctrl Alt Del to restart

  I have a Pro 4600 which displays the error message "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart "as soon as TOSHIBA logo goes.

  The laptop was given to me because the person who had tried to move to XP Pro and don't could not make it work, error with the CD Rom drive and she deleated the old OS (Win2000) off the coast.

  I took the hard drive and did a fresh install of XP by attaching the drive to another computer. The hard disk starts well on the other computer, but I get the error message on the Pro 4600.
  Any ideas. I know that I need to replace the CD Rom, but if I can't make it work, I don't want to drop money in it for a new CD Rom

  Thank you, Bob

  Hello

  Are you sure that the CD drive is dead?
  I have goggled a bit on the net and found some practical information that there may be some HDD malfunction.
  Some guys advised to use the command CHKDSK C: /R to solve this problem.

  But if it's a cd player error, it should be possible to disable the drive in Device Manager.

  Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

  On tests of hardware failures often alleged swapping parts by parts checked. If you can not do the test yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).
