Either your hard disk drive or the controller on the motherboard is bad or your OS (operating system software,i.e. Windows 7) is corrupted and needs to be re-installed.

SOURCE: Windows will not boot up

Hello.

If you got a Windows CD try the following...

Reboot the computer and enter bios by..
When the blue DELL™ logo appears, press <F2> immediately
You might have to try this a few times since you have to be really quick,

In system setup (bios)
Set CD Drive as first device in the boot sequence. Press F10 then chose "Y" to save.

Reboot.

When asked if you want to start on CD just press any key.

The menu on your cd should have a repair option.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: turned on the computer-it read NTLDR missing. Push ctrl+alt+delet

Well your ntldr is your bootstrap loader for windows built on the nt file system. There are two ways to fix it, one is to put in your windows xp cd, load it and then choose the repair option and when you get to a command prompt type in chkdsk /r. If that doesn't work you'll have to reinstall windows.

SOURCE: NTLDR is missing to restart Ctrl+Alt+Delete

Hi, Please use the below link for troubleshooting. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318728 This issue occurs when windows boot files are damaged / deleted. These 3 files are ntldr.exe, ntdetect.com, boot.ini. Better to repair the operating system by using the bootable disk which contains setup of your current windows operating system. In initial CMOS setup, please use the bootable disk as first bootable drive. You can go in this menu during early start of your desktop by pressing either DEL; F2; F10 buttons. Thanks, Amar

My Averatec 3200 series won't boot up. It says "NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" Pressing ctrl+alt+del doesn't help. What, if anything can I do?

The NTLDR is the boot loader of Windows - if it's missing the OS can't boot. The only reliable and easy way to fix that is to do a Repair install - everything will be kept and the missing files reloaded.
