• NTLDR is missing

  Hello world

  I have an old white MacBook4, 1 with a set training camp up with Windows XP. We have this used to work as a trainee computer to access a database program that we use on our windows machines. I was clearing off the power the computer of the personal files of different users over the years and when I went to boot into Windows, it gave me a NTLDR is missing. I did not touch anything in the score and try to check/repair disk from disk utility said that everything goes well on this score. I get a message from says:

  NTLDR is missing

  Press any key to restart

  I can't press any key to reboot as it does not recognize anything and so I have to force off via the power button. I don't have any external drives or devices connected and nothing in the drawer.

  I've seen various responses here but none suited to my needs.

  I don't have a copy of the old disk to install XP either, so I really hope there are a few simple difficulty on this point that I'm just not. Please let me know if you need more information

• SP A60: 'ntldr is missing' - all the possible passwords rejected in recovery console

  Hello

  My computer (Satellite Pro A60) 'crashed': 'ntldr is missing '.

  Looking for a solution found, but can't get into the recovery console (absolutely necessary to assign orders to restore the ntldr and ntdetect files).
  (I don't want to reinstall by fear of data loss).

  Each password possible is being refused: the computer has three users with administrator rights, I know that all three of them, I tried to 'Enter', 'Del', '1234', '11111', ' 0' 'admin', 'administrator', 'administrator' (this is a version in French), changed between QWERTY and Azerty... (I tried all possible suggestions on the Internet all for one, I went, I wrote to... - Why can't I enter in the console?)
  It must be Toshiba who has installed Windows XP Pro, so with what administrator password?

  Thanks for your feedback!

  (Sorry, posted this message in the series 'Satellite' too.)

  Are you running a NTFS file system? If you use fat32, then you can use a standard bootdisk and then run the command fdisk /mbr. that may solve your problem. Otherwise, you will need to use the recovery console. The password is defined when setting up the machine and is not defined by Toshiba I can guarantee that. This will be the password defined for the administrator when you ran through the initial Setup screen that is accepted the EUL

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• When I turn on my computer, I get a black screen that says "NTLDR is missing" or "NTLDR is compressed".

• When I boot my xp pro, I get "ntldr is missing, press control, alt, delete".

  When I boot my xp pro, I get "ntldr is missing, press control, alt, delete" I have 3 hard drives, and it's the same for everyone. I put in a cd of xp slipstream and changed the boot order so it starts on the cd. It's the only way it will start to my office. Without the cd, I get the error message. I tried to restore the files ntldr and ntdetect from the slipstream xp cd, but still not the same error. Thanks for any help.

• 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.

• Computer laptop HP Compaq 6710 b - NTLDR is missing

  I'm having a problem - from the beginning.  I don't have a recovery for this computer cd.  I turned it on and when he started start-up he began to start in console recovery with a count down. Then he started in windows and I thought either and played a few games on it and looked at files, etc.  I made a stop "correctly" and then a few days ago and I turned it on and I kick it to me stand in the collection with the count down and then NTLDR is missing appears.  I tried several times to restart the unit, and nothing is done, it does not start in the operating system. Or it will start without failure or anything else.

  I used a Seagate Disk Wizard utility CD to format the hard drive and run tests.  Now when I try to do a fresh install of XP PRO, it runs through the loading of files, drivers, etc..  When you get to the part of installation a blue screen appears and says that Setup did not find hard installed on the computer disc units. That the installation cannot continue.

  I know that when I did the tests on the hard disk drive of utility Wizard showed that hd was located "unknown controller" rather than the motherboard controller.

  The messages screen also says to make sure that any hard drive is turned on and connected to my computer and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct and it may involve a manuf. - supplied diagnostic or Setup running.

  According to HP, this system has a SATA drive.

  You have to enter the BIOS and change the configuration of hard drive to something which may include installation of XP.

  I don't know exactly how on your system, but here are some notes that I have to put you on the road and maybe someone else will tell you exactly what you need to do:

  Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

  Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

  You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

  Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

  The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

  The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

  If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA, change the IDE mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

  If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

  After completing the settings, ACCEPT and SAVE changes and reboot the system and see if the configuration of the installation works properly now.
