I have WIN95. I don't know what i did but whenever my computer tries to boot up is gives me error sayin taht "NTLDR is missing." I tried to change the boot option to try to have it boot from a WIN95 disk but that didn't work either. I don't have a recovery disk. Can someone tell me how to fix this.

if you have a win95 bootdisk that matches your install boot with it and at the a: prompt type fdisk /mbr (press enter)then sys c: (press enter) if this doesn't work you might have to reinstall 95

I had this problem. I went to another machine, copied NTLDR onto a floppy, went into my 'dead' machine with a boot disk, and copied NTLDR to the same folder as where I found it on the other machine. Of course, you have to use DOS to copy the file to the correct location. Hope this helps.

It is possible you just left a disk in the drive. Check your floppy drive to see if there is a disk there. If there is, remove it. That should solve the problem :)
