Here is my quick tip to fix “NTLDR is Missing” error on Windows XP:
- Boot the computer with a bootable CD or floppy that can read and write the C:\ drive. I recommend you to use BartPE as it’s a very easy and usefull tool to fix windows offline.
- Download NTLDR is Missing.zip, extract and save the 3 files into your C:\ drive.
- You may need to modify the boot.ini file to fit your need. 99% chance you won’t need to change it

- Restart your computer … and Done
Tips:
You can also use Windows XP bootable CD and then select Repair and use the Recovery Console to copy the 3 files (ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini) back to your C:\
However, Recovery Console will ask you the Administrator’s password before you can get inside it. Don’t worry
in case you need help with the password, you can read How to Reset Windows XP Administrator Password for help ![]()
Hope you’ll find this tip usefull ![]()

how to copy NTLDR is missing.zip into drive c??
thanks before
use BartPE & extract the zip file to your C drive.
If the ntldr is missing, and u try to fix it with.
-Acer Recovery
-Windows Xp
-Windows Repair system
and that doesnt work,& that all the drives are missing.
Will this help the other problems, or will it just help the one problem, or possibly fix them all?
all the drives are missing? i think, you may need to check your HDD for any hardware related problem.
