Hello, Please follow the following steps if the ntldr is missing : Format a diskette using Windows 2000, or Windows NT format (this will become the boot disk); you don't transfer the system to this disk; it works with just using FORMAT A: Copy three files onto this diskette: NTLDR (from Windows 2K CD), NTDETECT.COM, and BOOT.INI. You will need to find an NT machine or another Win2K machine to get these files Restart computer with diskette (you can probably boot normally, but you used Win NT for the files, you may have to revert to last known good configuration; no problem) Copy those 3 files to the root of your drive containing Windows 2K Regards, Sherlock holmes@qsupport.com [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
