Laptop problems

When i turn my Laptop on it comes up with the message:

NTLDR is missing
Press ctrl+alt+del to restart
If you restart then it just come up again.

Just wondering if any of you guys know what to do.

It's saying it can't find one of the files (NTDLR / NT Loader) needed to boot Windows. This could mean there's a problem with your hard disk, or your boot sector's corrupt, or your copy of Windows is corrupt, or you've got a loose IDE cable, or you've left a floppy or a CD in the drive or other causes which you can find highlighted here (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm) because Google is easy to use.

It sounds like it just needs tuning. You have to take off the case and turn L5 a little....

Sorry, I got caught up in one of the standard stick answer to help threads....


Good luck.

Ah yes! The old missing NTLDR issue. It's true that if a floppy disk is in the drive when rebooting, or starting, you'll get this error. Or if the O/S is corrupted.

In computer technician training, missing LTLDR caused me to spend an our trying to figure out what was physically wrong with a machine before my instructor reached down, and popped the floppy out of the drive.

I wish I'd seen this thread a few days ago, but it looks like someone else was there to help out.

I hope that's all it was, I mean if it was just a floppy disk in the drive, that is.
