PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! i've got a fat32 HD, and it's giving me the "NTLDR IS MISSING" message... its driving me crazy, i dont know what to do.. wont the fixmbr command delete my data on the hard drive? how shall i use it? its the only thing i have left to do, i have erased the folders documents and settings, program files and windows, cause i thought that reinstalling the OS would fix everything, but i was wrong, cause at the first boot the installation process did, it said NTLDR is missing again, and it couldnt end the win xp install.... i have no clue what to do, and i cant use the computer! please help me!!!

Try booting up using the XP CD-ROM and choose to repair. Then choose the Recovery Console Option... Choose the number corresponding to your XP version and enter your Administrator Password (then press enter). After that you'll see a command prompt...enter the following command: bootcfg /rebuild" command to fix boot.ini. FIXBOOT will fix the boot sector on the boot drive, FIXMBR will fix the master boot record if the NT loader complains of a missing HAL or unmountable boot volume. After the process is completed enter the command EXIT to quit (and the system should auto reboot OK from that point onwards...

If WinXP will not start, it may be due to a damaged boot sector or a missing or corrupt ntldr or ntdetect.com files. To replace, access the recovery console and enter: 1. Copy X:\i386\NTLDR C: (X is your CD ROM drive letter) 2. Copy X:\i386\NTDETECT.COM C: fixmbr should be safe to use,if your hard drive isn't using a drive overlay program,such as ezbios. some people have reported losing all their data after using fixboot, as it wrote over the partition information.
