I had a dual boot XP/98 system set up and working fine on two hard drives. I physically unplugged both drives and messed around with a third drive. I then removed the third drive and reinstalled the first two drives in the exact same configuration. Now when I try to boot all I get is: "ntldr is missing, press any key to restart" I would like to drop the 98 disk and just get the XP up and running. Any suggestions? Thanks.

corrupted boot.ini,search this site for the correct config for your dual boot, and check your boot.ini and make it the same as a working version

You can get a new copy of ntldr from the i386 folder on the XP CD
