NTLDR is missing

[KAPierce]

I have XP Pro on a PC that has run incident-free for over
a year. Out of the blue it now boots to the error "NTLDR
is missing. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to restart." Rebooting
just brings me to the same error. MS Knowledgebase
article #320397 identifies this as a known problem and
says I need to contact Microsoft to obtain a copy
of "Bcupdate2" to resolve this. I've searched Microsoft's
download section for this file but cannot find it. Anyone
know how I can get it, and how to use it? Or any other
ideas on how to resolve my issue? Thanks!

You have to contact MS as it says in the article.

They can supply you with that patch (fix) if it is determined that that =
is what is wrong with your machine.

BTW I could not find 320397.
