Diskeeper, Acronis and NTDLR
Apart from this annoying problem I love this board, I just have to remember to put my XP CD in when I boot up. Hopefully ASUS can get this fixed in an upcoming BIOS release. Functional, then continues to boot. However the system then gives me the NT Loader error - "NTLDR is missing" and forces me to reboot.

Can't boot with out cd
Now XP will only boot from the CD. And under boot options, I have XP listed twice. I used Q315233 in attempt to fix the problem. No luck. Recovery Console also failed to fix the problem, ditto on replacing NTLDR and NTDETECT.com. I have removed the hidden and system file attributes and can't locate boot.in.

Missing NTLDR; Can't boot
You can boot to the XP CD and select the first repair option and logon to Recovery Console. From there you can: 1) fixboot, to fix a missing/corrupted I can't get it to boot using the cd (yep - changed the bios to do the cd first). Still says, "NTLDR is mssing." Then somting about not finding the boot record.

NTLDR is missing error
That boot sector has only 512 bytes of code, so it can't do much, but it can find the file ntldr in that partition, read it into memory, and transfer control to it. Then, set CMOS to boot from the CD drive. Boot from the Win2K CD-ROM and use the Repair process to just Inspect the startup environment.

XP won't boot, says "NTLDR is Missing"
DAT file isn't in good shape for the NT setup. The file has some binary in it, but the text states that NTLDR is missing. That probably ? means my NT setup on D: isn't good and I probably need to set the D: drive up with NT. How can this be accomplished from the WinXP CD? Before I changed the mobo out, this was ok.

No!!! NTLDR is missing. Can't boot!
Again, I can't say what the size of those partitions will be since a lot depends on the saturation level of the existing partition. When the system attempts to boot now (w/o booting off the CD), it will not find the boot files and report "NTLDR missing" or possibly "Operating system not found".

Can't Re-install Windows!
On reboot, Acronis did the copying, then restarted, and failed to boot with the message NTDLR is missing, Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart. the boot code in that partition is trying to boot Windows from a particular partition number but that partition number is not correct for that disk so it doesn't find NTLDR.

XP Slipstreamed cd doesn't work as it should
Following Rick's suggestion, the /add did not find any system to add except the XP. Further, on the next boot the message NTLDR missing appeared. The current C: drive is housing Win95, so it can't be NTFS. This is why I specified "fixboot c:", so that the boot files would be written there.

Disk I/O Error and NTLDR Is Missing
It was in trying to boot from my XP install CD though that I got the error about NTLDR missing. I COULD boot from the Western Digital disk utility CD in order to do the format so I believe I am able to boot from a cd. But after thinking about it more, I think maybe my problem is that I can't boot from that CD?

Missing NTLDR, etc on Win XP Pro,Tried everything, HELP!
I think your gonna need the xp cd's cause if your drive is ntfs you won't be able to see it with a dos boot disk and therefore can't copy the needed file over. One file in the C:\ directory was called NTLDR, which had no identifying information, so I deleted it. And now, of course, I can't access either C:\ or

Dual Boot Woes (long version)
Boot from the XP CD itself not the hard drive. You can then go to the recovery console and delete the partition from there. You could boot from the CD and start the installation process and delete the partition. If you can't boot directly from the CD you can download floppies from Microsoft that will give you the

Anyhow, can’t restore the files if the machine won’t boot… --AVG Forum had a post referencing “NTLDR Missing”, but that was about testing the disks, not actual boot Windows XP from the CD-ROM: my reservation on this is that according to MS Knowledge Base article 312369, “You may lose data or program settings…
