    NTLDR is a hidden system file located in your C: directory. The file must have gotten corrupted through a virus or some other cause...
    To fix this issue, you need to copy back NTLDR to drive C:. There are two methods of going about this:

    1. FLOPPY - Grab a diskette and copy the NTLDR file to it through a friends computer. The file is hidden and is located in drive C:. Once copied, insert the diskette in your computer and Windows should boot up normally. Once booted up, copy the file from the diskette to drive C:.

    2. WINDOWS XP DISC -

    • Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.
    • When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
    • Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.
    • Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.
    • You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
    • Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter, which in this case is "e." This letter may be different on your computer.

      copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
      copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
    • Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.
    source - NTLDR is missing
