NTLD missing

Dyson · 01-29-2008, 11:53 AM

Wiping the hard drive of Win XP SP1 to clean install Win XP SP2. Revisited and found screen indicating NTLD missing and press alt cont del to restart. However will not reboot and keeps referring back to NTLD missing. Not sure how to get into BIOS to boot from CD Rom and at moment will not boot from there I run Western Digital 30 gb H/D on IBM NetVista 760 Mgz 256 Ram.

Hi and welcome to TSF.
Follow these steps.

Shut down the operating system and turn off your computer.
Press and hold down the F1 key, and then turn on the computer.
When an IBM or other logo is displayed or if you hear repeating beeps, release the F1 key. The IBM BIOS Setup Utility will start.
Select "Start Options" from the first menu.
From the Start Options menu, press <Enter> on the top bullet labeled "Startup Sequence" (it is above all the other options). This brings up a new "Startup Sequence" menu.
Change boot order as needed using arrow keys.

Then have a look at this article.
