Hello, when i uninstalled norton antivirus 03 and restarted my computer it msged: ntldr is missing. ctrl alt del to restart.
so i went to get a copy of
-ntldr
-ntdetect.com
-boot.ini
from windows xp home edition and put it onto my floppy
i rebooted my computer and copied the files ntdetect.com and ntldr into the C:\WINDOWS\I386 and C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 and i rebooted and i still said
ntldr is missing. ctrl alt del to restart.
What do i do?!?

You shouldn't have copied new files into the I386 folder...that's where they're stored. Now you've overwritten them.

You should have just copied them from the I386 folder to C:\


ASUS A7N8X-X
Athlon XP 1800+
8.5 x 200MHz
1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7
Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB
WinME/WinXP Pro SP1

Ok, the last question I wrote was pretty dumb. I copied it.
Question. Since I had over written the ntldr file and the ntdetect.com files, does it matter which one I used? Because they were different number of KBs.
