It doesn't ONLY mean that just one or two boot files are gone. The ntldr missing error is farily generic, and just means that the boot process is fatally screwed. It would be hard to do it accidentally, in other words. I don't think you accidentally deleted the boot files, as they are hidden, read-only system files. And running a CHKDSK /R /P from Recovery Console can sometimes bring it back. In my experience, when ntldr is missing, it's usually because the hard drive is going bad. If you do get a menu, try the various options. If you can't find one to try, there is really not a whole lot you can do.ĭoes the boot process get far enough to let you get to the XP boot options? By pressing F8 before Windows attempts to load. Although they may still allow booting to a USB CD-ROM, that's different. Only some very new laptops would allow booting to a USB flash drive.
