1. Change the BOOT order in your BIOS to boot from CD.
2. Insert Windows XP Bootable CD and boot from it.
3. When windows prompts your press R to enter in Recovery Console.
4. Log in to your Windows installation by pressing 1
5. You will be prompted for Administrator account password. Type the
password and press enter. If there is no password then press enter key.
6. Now, copy the following 2 files to the root directory. In example, I am
assuming that your CD-ROM drive has assigned letter E:
COPY E:\I386\NTLDR C:\
COPY E:\I386\NTDETECT.COM C:\
The Drive Letter for your CD-ROM could be different. Replace the E with your
CD-ROM drive letter. Suppose, if you have 3 partitions on your hard disk
C,D,E then most probably your computer will assign the letter F to your
CD-ROM.
Once the files are copied, remove the Cd and restart your PC.
Hope this help, let us know!!
