hi Russ I have a COMPAQ Presario and it go damaged, I switch it on the it reads NO NTLDR, I have no back up disk, I think the hard drive has crashed, I have had no computer schooling, and I am 72 years old, but I am willing to learn this high tech stuff, just to keep up with my great grand children and grand children, I am not yet ready to be put out to graze. Thank you. Ed

Hi Edward,

Something has caused the NTLDR file to be come corrupt or is missing.

You say you don't have the install disks. Any Windows installation disk will work if it is the same version. Once you start the computer with the CD in the drive you can press R for Repair.

Some of the newer versions of Windows (XP and Vista) the repair is a lot more involved and will take a little more explination.

When you start the computer does the hard drive make any unusuall noises?

If you have XP or Vista contact me through my Support page and I will do a write up that will allow you to use the Repair Console to repalce the missing files.

HTH...
