If you have NTFS partitions

copy the NTLDR or NTDETECT.COM files from the i386 directory to the root of the C:\ drive.

For NTFS:

  1. Insert and boot from your window xp CD.

  2. At the first R=Repair option, press the R key

  3. Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the installation of window xp you want to repair. Typically this will be #1

  4. Enter in the administrator password when requested

  5. Enter in the following commands (X: is replaced by the actual drive letter that is assigned to the CD ROM drive)

  • COPY X:\i386\NTLDR C\:

  • COPY X:\i386\NTDETECT.COM C:\

  1. Take out the CD and type exit
