I tried to start my computer and it went into a bad path. No start, but did return the following message:
Loading PBR for descriptor 2 . . . done
NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart
Needless to say it didn't.
I went into the F12 options and started the diagnostics package,
clicked on OS won't boot, and
after a couple of hours was told everything had passed the tests.
Still could not start - after about a 3-hour test.
Will try a different test, but I don't hold much hope.
What is NTLDR and how can I put a copy wherever it is supposed to go?
Am I looking at having to ship the disk unit to a data recovery company?
Even if I had data backups on the drive, I can't access them.
I realize XP is no longer supported, but I want to move the data to my
new Windows 7 computer. Unfortunately, I need to get XP running to
move the files. I kind of feel this is performance (lack of) rather than
repair and recovery.
Thanks for any help.
