NTLDR missing or currupt

[clickerx]

Today I could not boot WindowsXP. I received an error message "NTLDR is
missing or currupt". This file is in the c:\ root partition and when I copy
it from a friend's WindowsXP system on a 3 ½ floppy to copy it into my
system I find that I can't do that.
I lost my Dell Restore disk. So, right now I'm up a creek without a
paddle. - Can anyone help me out with a suggestion. - I'm also trying
to create a Windows XP Start Up Disk.
Thanks

Know do a search for ntldr, their should be a second copy on your
system located in 386 folder. If not you should be on your cd. Copy
it to the root drive. This might fix the problem.
