[sany]

Hello,


the system boots with the NTLDR is missing error
the OS is W2K PRO and there is only 1 NTFS partition

I boot with cdrom thru bios with the repair mode.
the HD setup repair is OK then the setup is examining the folders
and throu the scan the following files are missing and then the repair
is not successfull and the system starts with the NTLDR is missing again.


NTDETECT.com
NTLDR
ARCSETUP.exe
ARCLDR.exe


THE BOOT.INI file IS NOT DOMAGED
Because i type c:\Boot.ini
and i get

A list similar to the following list appears: [boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microso ft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

with map i see the cdrom is on d:\
but when i

copy drive:\i386\ntldr c:\

copy drive:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\

the above comments are not succesfull


I SEE THAT WITH THE F8 I CAN'T BRING THE SYSTEM TO SAFE MODE, LAST GOOD
CONFIG and all the other options

i don't have an ERD. i downloaded the madboot disks but the system does not
see it. what do you thing is wgong?

THIS IS ON THE WINDOWS 2000 PRO AND NOT XP.

thanks for your time.

drop to DOS, and get a copy of the bootlog.txt file if you have it, and look at what is failing/corrupt/missing specifically - then manually extract from the CD via .cab in DOS - after you've fixed all corrupt/missing, reboot and hold on tight.

Is this a clean or dirty install?

At the risk of sounding unhelpful, why do you think we're your personal tech support site? It would be one thing you had been here for a while and were trying to troubleshoot something, but this is your first post.

Ask Chris this question. If I remember correctly he had a problem like this before.

You might want to make sure the attributes on NTLDR are correct... I believe it should be Archive, Hidden, System...

Ask Chris this question. If I remember correctly he had a problem like this before.

My problem wasn't the same. I had multiple partitions and when I configured LILO I had typo'd the partition (hda2 when it should have been hda1). My solution was simply editing the lilo.conf and re-running lilo.

His issue is not the same as he says he only has one partition.

There are a shitload of web resources on this though. It is pretty easy to fix.

it is very easy to fix if i do a clean installation and start from the
beginning but i don't like to do that and lose what i have.

more help is welcome
