NTLDR Missing

[Rick Taylor]

My XP machine crashed and now will only give me the
message NTLDR missing.

How do I fix the problem? and How do I prevent it from
happening again?

Thank
Rick

I began having this problem this week after installing a Windows Update on
the 13th. Don't remember which update it was as I'm not in front of that
PC. If you rebooted the PC, everything worked, but if you shut it down and
then powered it back on, you got this error. Here's how I solved it:

I repaired the problem by booting to the Recovery Console and using the
command "fixboot c:" since the C: drive is system partition. Once I did
this, it started normally. Logged to XP as administrator and used System
Restore to undo the last Windows Update. Restarted again. Shut down PC 3
times and turned on again successfully each time. Problem solved!

Someone should tell Microsoft about this.
