Fixing error NTLDR is missing


Have you experienced error message "NTLDR is missing Press any key to restart" or "NTLDR is missing Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart" or "Boot: Couldn’t find NTLDR Please insert another disk" ???. This posting will discuss about how to fixing that kind of errors.
NTLDR error messages occur after the POST ( Power On Self Test) is completed or after the process of checking hardware in windows.

Causes of the error message
  • PC boot to USB, CD or Hard Drive which does not have a boot sector.
  • Windows have corrupted.
  • There was an error on boot configuration file.
  • Cables IDE/Sata damaged, so the data does not flow perfectly.
  • The windows upgrade process is not complete.

Standard Solutions
  1. simply restart our PC/Laptop.
  2. Check if there is flash disk, CD or other media that is connected to a PC/ lapptop, if any pull it, this is to prevent booting from the media
  3. Check the BIOS, whether the first boot is from the Hard Drive that has a boot sector or Windows is installed

If all that solutions don't work, try the following:
  1. Insert the Windows CD into the CD/DVD Drive.
  2. Restart your PC/Laptop and set the first boot from CD/DVD Drive.
  3. Press enter on the message "press anykey to boot from CD".
  4. After entering the Setup Menu, press "R" to enter the repair command line.
  5. Next will be asked, where the windows system lies??, choice of numbers appears, select the number that contained the windows system, for example: if on drive C then choose number 1
  6. Next will be asked the administrator password, type it and enter.
  7. Copy the files NTLDR & NTDETECT.com into the system. For example if CD/DVD drive is drive 'D', then the command is
    Copy d:\i386\ntldr c:\
    Copy d:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
    
  8. If success, then there will be written "2 files copied".
  9. Restart PC and select boot from first hard drive.
