  • Satellite Pro 4300: error - NTLDR missing

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite Pro 4360, P3 700 mhz.
    I'm trying to upgrade the Bios to install Ubuntu Linux.

    However, by following the instructions on the download of Toshiba Bios, IE change the boot sequence for the floppy drive with the disc in the drive that contains the update files, I can't update and just got the message:

    NTLDR missing

    Someone help with this?

    Also, when I try to run the live CD, after changing the boot sequence in the CD-ROM, I get no response and the computer continues to boot from the disk with Windows 2000 Pro?

    Someone help with this?

    Hello

    "NTLDR is missing" usually means that the "NT Loader" of an operating system with the kernel NT or NT-technology cannot start the operating system. (Such system NT could be Win NT, Win XP or Win 200o)

    But it s strange when a drive reports an error message. What was on the disk before? Was the drive some disk before starting? If so, then proceed as follows:

    Format the drive in Windows 2000 with the option to make a disk and copy the files from the BIOS on this subject. Then boot from the disk and update your BIOS. Ususally it should work.

    Please give a few comments if you managed...

  • Satellite A200-1AX (PSAE6) NTLDR missing after backup retoring

    Hello my computer toshiba laptop A200-1AX (PSAE6) it came with Vista pre installed but I installed windows xp on it.
    Everything went well and I used acronis true image 11 home to perform a backup.

    Yesterday I tried to change my driver letter, and he told me that I can not change the letter.
    Then when I rebooted after awhile my windows would be stuck on the Welcome screen... then I tried to restore the backup with acronis bootable media... after the restore is completed and tried to boot, I have ntldr missing :(

    What has gone wrong? Can I register my cell phone from another format?

    Don t think that it would be able to solve this problem without reinstallation of the OS.

    Read some reviews on the missing NTLDR to error and one of the guys here in the forum found a solution to unlock the HARD drive and install XP:

  • NTLDR missing after XP Pro install attempt.

    Hey

    I'm trying to set up a mini PC for my carputer project. I started using a USB CD-ROM for initial installation. It went well, so he came up with errors and is stopped and restarted. It came then with NTLDR missing. I did some research and thought it might be the CR ROM play up. So I plugged a different rom using the IDE connectors. I started the installation again. He has crossed all the stages, not the format, and then began to load the files. At half way through then just tt once again restarted itself. Now when it gets to the screen of BOOT, and when "boot from CD" appears, the machine restarts just all the time. When I remove the installation disc comes with the NTLDR missing. I'm really into the arms of this problem. I'm really appreciate some advice and help please.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    NTLDR is not used for installation of Vista, it's a vestige of WinXP / 2K. If it is listed as "missing", then your boot sector is damaged and must be repaired. The steps are described here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/927392?p=1

  • NTLDR missing on a drive, I don't want to not start

    Hi all

    I have a few disks USB that I can boot the computer with them is plugged. No problem. But there is one in particular (NFTS, 1 TB) that its plugged the computer tries to boot from and I get the error NTLDR missing . I don't want windows to try to boot from that disk
    I've never done this bootable disc at least not intentionally. I looked for the files in the root of the system drive and found nothing. By comparing the information of partition (windows disk management) with other readers, the only difference is this particular drive is healthy (Active, primary) while others are just healthy (primary).
    The 'active' is guilty? If yes how can I do not Active?
    Thank you

    Not an answer to your Q readers but usb was never designed to be connected on startup, or a stop, for various reasons, mainly the risk of alteration of the disc, but I digress;

    Open a command prompt and type DISKPART.

    Type LIST DISK
    Type SELECT DISK n (where n is the number of the USB)
    The LIST PARTITION type
    Type SELECT PARTITION n (where n is the number of the active partition that you want to be inactive)
    IDLE type
    Type EXIT to exit DISKPART
    Type EXIT to quit the command prompt

  • Satellite A15-S129 won't start CD - message NTLDR missing

    I decided to do a new installation on my Satellite A15-S129 neighbors. After trying all sorts of ways, I decided to remove the hard drive and reformat my computer. When I put in the satellite, I expected to boot from the cd since the hard drive was empty, but no, I get the "missing ntldr message.

    The Bios does not have the cursor move on the part where I could change the boot order. When I start the computer, I can't press f2 or f12 to change the boot order.

    After no luck I just started doing all sorts of things to solve problems. A: I notice if I remove the hard drive and let the empty slot, I get error IDE, and then SURPRISE!
    The boot goes to the Conference on disarmament, BUT just at the point where I thought I could just install, I get the screen that says lack of hard drive, even though I pressed and push the HDD.

    Why the computer insists on the conduct of one thing: starting from windows xp, even if the disk is the Bank.

    Why I can't, or rather, how can he blow up the hard drive and move to the cd drive?

    I've never been stumpted like this before! Please help, my neighbour will have my head!

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive is ok because you were able to access it from another computer.

    But a question; How connect you and format the HARD drive internal on another computer?

    But to the A15 motorway. It s very strange that you are not able to access the BIOS and that it of not possible to change the boot order. nor by the F2 or F12 key.
    But wait this BIOS has been installed on this laptop? Phoenix BIOS or Toshiba?
    To access the Phoenix BIOS you need to press "F2", but to access the Toshiba BIOS, you must press ESC then F1.

    In any case, due to your description, I guess the hardware malfunction causes this problem.
    Maybe a problem of controller, HARD drive or other tiny part of the motherboard does not work

    I think that the technician should take a look on this laptop, and maybe he'll find the source of error.

  • Error - NTLDR missing Windows XP Home computer does not start.

    Original title: XP-based computer does not start.

    XP Home does not start after I uninstalled a large file of Samsung mobile phone. I get a missing NTLDR error message and have had a System32 error as well, but there is no DOS prompt that would allow me to access anything whatsoever. Another problem is that I lost my installation CD. I initially bought this Dell PC nine over 6 years ago, so can provide identification details, if necessary program. Could someone tell me how I can make a recovery CD please? (No floppy drive not installed in the PC). To further complicate things (Yes, I know - I created many more problems that we all need), I have to keep my files on the hard disk, so cannot do a complete reformat, unless someone can tell how to save them somehow. My BACK skills could be summed up as "plodder inexperienced but determined!

    The file might be missing or it could just be that XP can't find it if your file system has somehow got corrupted.

    As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    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?

    System32 error, you see, is what exactly?

    Depends on a few factors, there could be another copy of the file NTLDR in other places on your system, but you have to start on something to find out whether there is or not.

    After answering the above questions, I begin to make a CD from Recovery Console bootable XP by running a chkdsk/r, first on your HARD drive and then see what is left to do.

    Here's how:

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

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    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 (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    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.

  • FILE NTLDR MISSING

    When I start my computer, I get a message saying ntldr is missing. How can I replace this file on my computer without wiping my hard drive and delete my files that are on the computer.

    ·        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

  • Satellite 1410 - NTLDR missing

    My brother gave me his notebook to watch as it will not start. Although initially, it came with XP Home, it has since been upgraded to Professional and has worked well for about 12 months.

    Cannot do a lot with the laptop because it constantly gives me the message NTLDR lack. At took the laptop and in 2.5 HARD drive "caddy to verify content using my home computer and I noticed that the HARD drive was empty. Reformatted to NTFS HARD drive and reinstalled back to laptop.

    Changed BIOS to boot from the CD and tried reinstalling XP Professional but to halfway through the installation, it will fail with a BSOD. Several attempts have been made to install XP and have reformat using NTFS. installation goes as far as creating the \WINDOWS folder but it freezes or gives me a BSOD.

    Not sure if there is a defective HARD drive or RAM or something.

    An advise please

    If possible, try to get the new HARD disk and repeat the installation of the OS. I also recommend you to use a tool to check if the HARD drive has bad sectors. It is really not easy to say what the problem is here, but I assume that there is something wrong with the HARD drive.

    If connected as external device can you copy or delete files to it as usual?
