16054 2001-07-24 05:05:00 I have a problem where my computer (dual c: win98, d: win2k) will not boot up.

I get a message 'NTLDR is missing please insert disk....'

Now I found the problem to be a win2k prob where it paces this file as well as Bootdisk.ini and NTDETECT.com into the root directory (C:). Apparently this must have been deleted when I was running a system check.

However, my problem is that I cannot replace this ntldr file (which is the proposed solution) because I cannot access my C: drive. I get 'Invalid Media Type...Abort, Retry...' messages and so cannot replace it where needed.

So far I have tried
sys c:
fdisk /mbr

to no avail.

the C drive is still there (fdisk can 'see' it) but it does not know the format of the partition.

Apart from formatting (which I REALLY dont want to do) is tere anything else I can do?

just boot the windows 2000 setup, and select Repair. Select only the 'startup environment' repair, and it should replace the file for you.
