Fixing a virtual machine with ntldr is missing error message
Contributed by Nicholas J. Fiorello Jr.
1. Created a snapshot. Might seem kind of silly to snapshot a broken VM, but it prevents anything from making it worse.
2. Configured VM to boot from CD (fixntldr.iso)
3. Booted CD. First choice worked.
4. Discovered that NTLDR, BOOT.INI, and NTDETECT were all missing
5. Changed Administrator Password
6. Shutdown
7. Configured VM to boot from CD (XP iso with SP3)
8. Booted into recovery console.
9. Ran FIXMBR.
10. Ran CHKDSK.
11. Copied NTLDR and NTDETECT from CD
12. Rebooted
13. Created new BOOT.INI
14. Rebooted
15. Removed snapshot
