SOURCE: missing or corrupt
You didn't need to replace the hard drive if there is a missing NTLDR file, it just means that the boot sector is missing or corrupt. You can fix it by putting in your WinXP CD, and choosing REPAIR.(This is known as the Recovery Console and it's in DOS just to warn you...) Then you can type the following at the dos prompt: fixmbr - Fixes corrupt master boot record fixboot - Fixes corrupt boot sector bootcfg /rebuild - Fixes corrupt or missing boot.ini
SOURCE: Crashing!!!!!!!
First go to recovery console. try this command after the command prompt. CD system32\drivers\ Enter Last line should be: C:\windows\system32\drivers> then... Expand the file from the CD. expand d:\i386\ntfs.in_ or expand d:\i386\ntfs.sy_ if this doesnt work try to run CHKDSK /R. if you get any error while running checkdisk repair you will need a hard drive replacement.
