On a Dell PIII 500 Notebook I tried to upgrade from ME to XP. On the second option screen the system hung. Now on bootup the message 'NTLDR is missing'. The only option I have is F2 for BIOS settings. Am I overlooking the obvious? HELP !!!

did you run dual ME/2K?
NTLDR is of NT OS loader. So I'm afraid the previous post doesn't help.

NTLDR Is Missing Error Message When You Upgrade or Install Over Windows 95 or Windows 98
This article will explain what's going on and how to remedy the problem... which wx is correct about.
BTW... the Resolution is:
1. Restart the computer with a Windows 95 or Windows 98 Startup disk that contains the Sys.com file (this file is included by default).
2. At a command prompt, type sys c:. This command rewrites the Windows 95 or Windows 98 boot code with accurate BPB information.
3. Restart the computer to Windows 95 or Windows 98, and then attempt the Windows 2000 or Windows XP installation or upgrade procedure again.
