Hi,
I'm new here so not sure if this is the right place or not. last nite i was running my superantispyware prog and it asked me to reboot which i did. Then nothing!!! My PC gets to the PCI Listing page and at the bottom it says "NTLRD not working press ctrl+alt+delete to restart", but nothing. My PC is a evesham and there tech support isn't open till monday-saturday 9-5.30 but i'll be at work then. Anybody throw any light on what this might be?? I have tried booting from the recovery CD but still nothing:confused:
Cheers
 
The program (NTLDR) responsible for loading the Windows OS (NT/2k/XP) is either corrupt or missing.

Do you have multiple hard drives? If you do, make sure the one the bootloader is on (typically the first hard drive in the system) is the first drive in the hard drive boot order. Where this is specifically, I'm not sure as I don't know which BIOS your motherboard uses. Phoenix/Award BIOSes tend to have this under the Advanced Configuration menu.

When you say you got nothing from the recovery CD, what did you attempt to do? Install Windows over itself?
 
hi
it is a pheonix award bios and my HDD in the pc is a maxtor diamond max plus 9 160gb sata/150 hdd. My external HDD in a case is a maxtor maxline plus 11 250gb ata/133 hdd.. i just have a xp recovery CD which came with my 3 1/2 year old evesham AMD Athlon xp2800+ PC.
Dosent look like i can swap the drives over as there are different pins and seeing as Evesham have gone bust?? dosen't look like i can phone there support
Any ideas/
Cheers
