Thankyou. I downloaded the CD iso and followed your clear instructions. Don't know what I did to caude the problem but I got back into windows and used system restore to roll back 24 hours - works great again. Thankyou. Happily made a donation.
Thanks so much Miles for your easy and simple explanations.Now problem is fixed for me...
Wow, thanks! Removed an extra hard drive, the one that was left was drive D: and XP decided to stop booting. Your page came to the rescue: the steps for creating a bootable USB drive and recovering were right on. Happy to donate!
Thank you very much! You saved my day!

Fantastic... just when i was thinking of re installing everything ( my pet hate ) I will be adding the boot cd version to my collection as a must.

thx, ur solution save my paper. thanks again.
Thanks miles!! your solution to fix the Ntldr is missing worked perfectly. the world needs more people like you!! tip left in paypal!!
OMG, life saver! I lost my XP CD and CD Key, so I could not reinstall. Only thing I wish is that it was easier to find your site. I spent hours trying to find something like this. I imagine it wasn't that hard to put together, but it is impossible to find help for. Donation to follow.
it worked option number 5.... NOTE I HAD TO COPY THE CONTENTS OF THE CD(BOOT DISK) TO ALL PARTITIONS IN ORDER FOR IT TO GET WORKING.... my boot files were missing(i guessing it was a virus)...
Great, searched on google for ntldr missing and you were first hit. Had tot do some tricky things to get a seperated Vista/XP boot menus 1 vista install/2 XPs 32/64 bit and easybcd made this a lot easyer without doing it the hard way using bcdedit
I have been going through so many hoops to restore my OS, you're fix is the most progress I've had at gaining access to my hard drive once again! It's on now. Much thanks!
My God, my computer has been out of action for so long and at last thanks to you, its now up and running!! So easy to do, even for a dizzy blonde!! :-)
Thank YOU THANK YOU! I wasted hours repeatedly reinstalling a Ghost Image that for some reason would not boot. Tried everything except for the right thing. Your website saved the day and if I'd have looked earlier you would have saved me several hours. This (you) is what the Internet is all about!
Thanks a Zillion Miles... You really saved my **s today, you gave a right step by step solution to my %$/!!!/@ Windows problem.
Left you a small tip compared to what you saved me, but I am deeply greatful. Will spread the word about your great Wb site.

I left you a $10 which is nothing compared to the time you saved me. There should be more web sites like yours, offering solutions and with a donate button at the end. But you should make a stronger case for the donation. I think you deserve it.
You are a really cool guy! Thanks A Lot! You save my world.
Thanks a bunch, you saved my day :)
Thank you very much for this tool. It helped me recover my virtual-machine windows install. I am sorry I can't donate, as I'm a student, and $ -> Rs. conversion is too steep.
But thanks a lot :)
Thank you SOOO much.
Got this error after powering my pc off at the wall.
works perfectly!!!

You are the man!! The exe file worked to boot windows and help me fix my daughter's computer. Thanks to you, I'm once again her hero.

Many thanks, I have made a donation.
Ran Glary Utilities late last night then shutdown. Started system at 3am to check email and got the NTLDR missing message. Found your site with my 98SE nostalgia gaming machine and it was easy from there.
Thanks again

thanks from this housewife... was worried about keyloggers, viruses, spyware, all that 20th century stuff we worry about for computers... but gave your suggestions a go... all's well and thanks to you, Mr Smart and Helpful... you will make a great computer husband (if you are not already) *hugs*
THANKS! It worked beautifully, you just saved years of my research. $5 on the way.
Most excellent. I removed a spare drive (C:) and got the error. My fault for rushing and not setting up my drives correctly to begin with. Kudos and bless you!
I really wish I had the money to donate, because you saved my butt! I moved files trying to be organized and messed everything up. Normally my husband is the computer whizz but he wasn't here, so I really appreciate it!!
I wish I could donate but it is just not possible right now. Your fix worked 100% and kept me from having to take an expensive service call that I absolutely couldn't afford. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. I have a wounded hard drive on my laptop, and by fooling around trying to tweak it, I must have lost some files. This was a big help, and I was glad to make a contribution.
Dude, I was Freaking out. I thought I lost all my crap on my hard drive. Years and years of stuff. But your instructions worked, thanks!
Just what we needed! Thanks a million!
Thanks a million, your instructions worked perfectly, you saved my life. thanks again!!!!
Great Documentation. I was about ready to create a solution to fix my daughters computer 2000 mi away and found your site. Was about to send her a CD and get everything repaired in 20 mins on the phone with her. Your instructions are very easy to follow. ...johnt...
Thanks Miles, another computer saved! Our donation is on the way!
This worked perfectly for me. I think spyware got into my boot files and when I used my spyware remover it took out the files needed to boot. Got my computer up and running with this in 10 minutes. Thanks alot!!
Thanks very much!!
A friend of mine had moved the ntldr file to another folder and this sorted it out straight away.
THANK YOU - YOU SAVED ME. I was trying to clean my overloaded drive by deleting duplicate files and deleted/moved the file. I used a USB and this soloution worked for me when I thought I had completely trashed my computer. Highly recommended, thanks again.

Superb, worked 1st time, I can confirm it works on XP64 just fine.
Donation on it's way.
Sequential and detailed description helped me fix it within no time..
thanks a lot it was of gr8 help
SECOND time my computer crashed trying to install Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10 but this time I could get into Windows without losing data or having to reinstall WinXP.
Great site!
wow thanks dude ,, your program worked ,,, i really wish i could donate more,, but a couple bucks are on the way.
paul
thanks a lot...it really worked for me.. i thought ill hire a technician to fix it.. but i solved with your help.
Friend got this error. Completely stumped me. Then I ran across your info. Worked like a charm. Thanks man
Got the error after "cleaning" hard drive. Had the error before on a older PC that the only solution was a complete reinstall. So of course I dreaded losing files on my notebook and the whole time consuming process of a reinstall.
Your solution worked as described. Thank you so much and $$$$$ are on the way via Paypal
So pleased!!!!
Real difficulties with my Acer Travelmate. Got the dreaded message after a virus. Acer don't provide recovery disks, it's all in the hard drive. How stupid is that.
Oh, I forgot - Acer charge £50 for a recovery disk and £70 to "re-image". ($100 / $140). Mmmmmmmm.
Process worked very well. Thanks much for the work in figuring it out and maintaining the site. Donation made.
You freakin roooooooooooooooock!
It's 1:45 am on 09/17/2008, I'm out cold and the phone rings. On the other end, BT, local DJ at our Rock station WKLC ( wklc.com )
The music server is down hard, ntldr missing. 30 minutes later I'm on site and try using XP Pro install disk to repair Windows - no luck - sees no prior Windows install. 1 Google search, blank CD-R, and 2 downloads later, it's up - thanks to you - 300,000K rock fans will start the day without ever knowing what happened. My donation pales in comparison to our gratitude.
Thank you - very much!

Thanks alot...for creating this...i accidentally deleted the ntldr file on my pc....but thisworked wonders...my mom would have killed me if her laptop was not working...THANK YOU...THANK YOU...and THANK YOU!!!=D
Thank you so much Miles. Donation sent as requested.
It's been a fun morning, the keyboard on the laptop was faulty so couldn't get into BIOS, therefore added a USB keyboard, once I was in, the comp refused to boot from the USB, I couldn't use the CD solution because my emergency computer was WIN2000 and the ISO burner doesn't have a WIN2000 version (any chance you could recommend an ISO burner for WIN2000 for others in my position) eventually I found another great program BART PE which is a bare bones operating system on CD and used it to copy the files from the USB to the root folder, your explanation for editing the boot.ini file was clear and once I'd got into the computer using Bart, i was able to see the folder was WINXPPRO, changed the boot.ini file, saved it direct into the root folder along with NTLDR and NTLDETECT.COM, restarted and option 3 was the charm. I've now edited the boot.ini to use option 3 as default and the laptop starts like normal. All of this from a computer NEWB, just proves how good your explanation is. Many thanks again.
amazing...
Your CD is magic.
Everytime Ntdlr matter happen to me,
i need one hour to solve it.
With your cd i can solve it in
30seconds!
(the third option worked for me)
Really worked with my old desktop. Lol. Gotta replace the hard drive with a new one though. But i got to back up the important files. Thanks a bunch!
Thank very much! it's really working to my desktop computer.
Now i safe my documents and safe a lot of time for reinstallation.
Thanks it worked for me!
Thanks so much man, I've been looking to make a different hard drive my master boot, and this did the trick! I'm unemployed as of right now, but will get a job in the next week or so. I've bookmarked your site so I can make some donations to you! Thanks for your effort in creating this little fix!

Just wanted to say a huge "Thank you" for posting the most comprehensive set of instructions which solved my problem very quickly.
excellent fix, only wish I'd found it before spending a couple of hours reading microsoft's gibberish
Thx a lot bro..
Its working...
Very Cool! My Moms computer crashed and you were the second link in a google search and you saved us A LOT of money... The local repair guy wanted to replace the entire hard drive for an "NTLDR MISSING" error. Only took 10 minutes to replace and I didn't lose any of my existing files.
Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your help! Wish I would have found you sooner and before I spent hours and hours trying to fix my PC. You will find a small token donation accordingly. Again thanks for the help and expertise. Seems to me you should find a way to package your fixes and sell them on a much broader and easier found site. Best to you......
It did work !! wow !! My son's PC would not boot to a Vista install CD because the NTLDR was missing, I am installing a fresh copy of Vista. He has an AMD socket 939 on an ASUS board. I think that is why I couldn't use only the Vista install CD, it's AMI BIOS...I think.... I installed a fresh copy of Vista on my PC about 6 months ago and did not need a bootable floppy nor did I have the NTLDR is missing problem. Thanks again.
Dude, your program saved me A LOT of time and trouble at work today! Helped a professor get back to his laptop hard drive so he could access the final exams he is giving tomorrow! Thank you so much for this "old program." Looks like it has helped out many people, so we're all grateful.
Donation sent as requested. Wish I could give more. Happy Holidays!

Thanks a lot man. I'LL TRY to recommend. Sorry I cant afford to pay and stuff
Thank you sooooo much. my power went out while doing an editing project when i couldn't reboot all of a sudden and your steps and program fixed everything! This works 100% and you are the man Miles!
wow mate.You have an awesome tut.
Thank you very much Miles! This worked perfectly for me.
This is amazing. I have a computer again.
Note to all: DO NOT think its a good idea to fall asleep with your Ipod updating. You will wake up at night at turn your computer off on accident and DESTROY your computer.
u r so awesome - fixed it in no time, saved me completely
made my x-mas :)
thank you so very much

Used the CD-R option to fix my missing NTLDR problem. Worked at first try! Brilliant!
I join a long list of grateful people! Thanks Miles!
YOU SAVED ME SO MUCH TIME! THANK YOU! DONATED AS REQUESTED!
Thanks so much! I go this error after a Windows Update.. I thought I'd have to reformat my hard drive and would have lost my wedding photos! Your instructions were clear and easy to follow! Thanks again!
thank you so much, this made my life a billion times easier!
Thank you, you saved my life :)
Just to say thanks a lot for the help, my sons laptop was unuseable because he had deleted the ntldr file by mistake and as it had no cd, dvd or floppy drive I was unable to use the recovery DVD nthat came with it and I was a bit stumped as to how to fix it, The usb version of your application worked great on the 2nd attempt and I was able to replace the missing files and get the laptop working just fine again.
I can confirm to any1 and every1 that the downloads are what they say they are and do the job they are supposed to. A lot of people probably end up paying a lot of money to PC repair men to fix this problem when there is an easy to use solution freely available to any1 able to use a search engine.
Worked perfectly, thank you so much!
thank u! :)
Ow yeah, got a error after restoring a ghost-image of an xp. Thanks a lot.
You are a prince! I accidentally deleted the ntldr file with some other junk and thought I was toast. Couldn't find my XP disk but found your site. Couldn't get the USB option to work last night (no doubt my fault), but today I tried the CD method and Bingo! on the first try. Once I get everything backed up and working properly on my main computer I intend to make a very worthwhile PayPal donation. Thanks again.
Just came across your site while working on a family members PC. I’m sure you know the feeling of relief I got when I came across a solution that worked. That solution was yours. This is a most valuable ISO that I will be keeping as part of my fix-it collection from now on. Great work. Should you want to update your main website design, I would be happy to offer my web design services as a donation for the solution that you provided me. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss this further. Cheers.
Thank you so much, this works great :)
Thank you, thank you. Worked like a champ. Saved me having to wait on others to fix my PC for me.
Miles.. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your article on how to fix your computer when yiu get the NTLDR message and the computer will not boot up!
For no reason that I am aware of this happened to me on Friday morning! We spent all day asking our frineds that are in the computer business... what to do.. we tried everything with no success.
I then went on my hubbys computer.. and googled everthing I could find.. till I found your site!
I did what you said about making the cd..etc... then my husband took over... and tried it to no avail... the screen never came up with the choices, and after 8 hours he gave up!
I sat down.. with the cd in.. and as it booted .. I just kept hitting F lock and F12.. welllaaa! the screen came up! I told it to boot from the cd.. it did.. then I hit the TRY THIS one FIRST.. and my puter totally booted up!
I immediately backed up my entire hard drive to my Maxtor external hard drive.
Each time I rebooted.. I had to go thru the steps above.. but that was ok with me! I for now had my puter back!
Well. when I went to bed last night.. all night I kept waking up thinking.. " there must something I am missing or did not do". So when I got up this morning we went back to your site.. and I read further down.. to where it said to copy those files into the C: drive.. I did that.. rebooted without the disk, and it now boots beautifully!
I want to thank you for taking the time to write that article or blog... on how to resolve my issue as well as many other peoples.
My hubby and his friend are going to put a new hd into my puter today.. and make my old hard drive... this one I am using that had the error.... the SLAVE.. so that I can still access my things.
Do you have any clue what would have caused that Ntldr error in the first place?
Again I really appreciate your help in helping me to get my puter up and running... Have a great day! Jo-Anna
you da man
Miles Comer you are a live saver!
I formatted my Vista on c: as I wanted to restore a stable version of Acronis Vista backup on it. I had XP Pro on d: from where I planned on restoring my Vista backup on c:. But after formatting c: the sys wouldnt boot at all because of the bootmanager and other boot files were on c:. Your tools made it possible for me to boot my XP and restore a stable version of Vista back to c: using Acronis.
Thank you very much for your tools mate!
Whoever you guys are, you're my saviour!! I burned the cd and presto, the computer that had the problem booted up! I did have to make sure that I went into the BIOS to set up the sequence with the computer booting from CD first. Other than that, you guys saved my butt!!
Thank you so much,
Rick
Thanks SO MUCH for posting this fix. While I'm probably going to have to reformat and reinstall XP, the boot disk is letting me use the PC in the meantime and, even more importantly, is letting me copy my important files that I had not previously backed up.
I've happily made a PayPal donation.
What a great service you have performed.
Five stars to you guys..
Many thanks.
Thanks a lot mate! "3rd try this" saved my ass. Sorry I'm so skint or I'd definately donate the five dollars. Thanks again tho
Thanks man, you did good.
I really want to say thank you... apart from the multi language "que es basura" אבל מאתגר (hebrew)
took me a a while, but fixed my problem... now if only you could address my penile disfunction me and my wife would both be happy...
Many thnaks and kind regards..

Jee... thanks!
Fixed XP system in a matter of minutes. Excellent instructions.
Many thanks.
WOW! Thank you so much! Your tutorial fixed my "Missing NTLDR" problem! Yay! You helped me help myself :)
OMFG!!! thank you sooo much ....i never thought someone as inexperienced as myself would have been capable of sorting out this error (Great instructions!)
After my comp returned to normal i wuz hoping you had an e-mail or a paypal so i could send u a thank you.... "low and behold" you had that taken care of too!
Thank you sooo very much
Great little helpdesk you created, man! You're in my bookmarks now!
Norton Ghost decided to screw me, and I got rid of the kind of boot loop it had me in writing a new bootsector, but then had the ntldr error. One burn of your CDR-based fix, and "First try this" worked on the first try!
Thanks man, helped me fixed my sister's com. I don't have a credit card or chequebook, but I'll bug her to send a donation =)
Thank you so much, your solution saved the day! It always seems like the world ends when your computer breaks!
Hi Miles! Thanks for this quick fix. It saved me a big hassle!
"I love you dude"
Miles you are the best! Your instructions and files worked perfectly. Thank you and best wishes to you!
I know know what caused my problem. I uninstalled a software and it erased this files in the process.
Luckily the help from this webpage was so great that I am back to my school work without having to reinstall everything.
Thank you Miles!!!!
Thank you so much for the help +++rep. You are the man! From: Chris in New Orleans, LA
