All right, guys... Windows 2000 Professional was getting stubborn, so I used MaxBlast and cleared the hard drive. Now I try to reinstall Windows 2000 and I get "NTLDR Missing" What's up with this?

I've used the repair console and used FIXMBR but it didn't work.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

If your trying to boot from the hd, of course you're getting that error.

You wiped the hd drive clean. If you're booting from a floppy, you need a new floppy.

If you can't get one, reset your bios to boot from the cd-rom.

I'm not using a floppy...

If I boot from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM it sets up my files (the blue screen junk), then it restarts my system. If it goes back to the CD-ROM it sets up and restarts all over again. And if it goes to the hard drive, then I get the NTLDR mission error.

Hi B1nary,

For the error NTLDR mssing , I want to suggest you some steps.

Do try ..

Boot the System with CD Rom ( Win2k Setup Disk). It will runs the setup and asks for user's prompts to run setup types . There you have to select Recovery Console by pressing R.

It will goes to Recovery console mode and asks for Administrator password ,there u have to give the password .

Now u will get the Command prompt. By this way u will be able to access the cdrom (Win2k Source ) and System root in Hard disk.

Now u what to do is Copy the NTLDR file from CD to System root ( either C Drive or D drive ).

Then Restart the system . Check it will solves u r problem.

Regards.
Kishore
