Hi, After installing Windows XP Pro, After activation of the software it works for about two days and then the error message appears -- NTLDR Missing Please Press Ctrl Alt Delete to restart your computer. Has anyone seen this before ?? Thanks Tony

The boot drive needs three files for NT to boot: NTLDR, BOOT.INI, NTDETECT.COM. NTLDR must've been deleted --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Ericahist updated Aug 30!

My sister did this recently on her home computer, and she's an MS Exchange support tech... Floppy disks formatted with Windows 98 and later (IIRC) report 'Boot: Missing NTLDR' if they haven't got system support files on.

I had the PC with 2000, XP (i had problems in both), when I try to boot my PC, with a floppy inside the floppy drive, this message comes. Just remove the floppy and then continue booting, it works fine. - This may not be a solution or a fix to a problem, but was just trying to eliminate the 'worst case' option I faced...

Education ruined me!.Well, I found what the problem was, I created the partition using a Win98 boot disk through FDISK, I guess when this is done the OS gets a little confused between FAT32 and NTFS file system format. The problem was taken care of by booting from the CD and formatting with the util built into the WinXP build. Thanks All for your helpful replies. Tony
