If you boot with 'Puppy Linux' you can look at all your partitions, find NTLDR and move it to the correct position, you can also edit the 'Boot.ini' if required.	mzee (3324)

If you boot with 'Puppy Linux' you can look at all your partitions, find NTLDR and move it to the correct position, you can also edit the 'Boot.ini' if required. I am able to view/edit the tracks using RStudio a data recovery program. But, I am not sure where I should move the NTLDR to, also, when viewing either track 0 or track 1 I see in text in one of the columns it says NTLDR missing, then next to that it says NTLDR is compressed. Im not sure that means anything or if that is some sort of default text within string/snippet ( snippet??) The original hard drive I was cloning had gotten into a stack of other HD's and I think it got zero'd out, but I have the hard drive I cloned my files to, it shows all my files, I know I could copy the files and go on, but I have a program on that hard drive that will not work when installed on another hard drive, the program is "married" to that hard drive and the computer that the original HD was in. If I could get the "clone" HD to boot in the original PC the program was installed on it would be like nothing had changed and I could use the program, if I cannot get that program to work and have to re-install on another HD then the company that activates the program will charge me $200 for a new key. I am hoping to either create a new MBR on that hard drive, or move the NTLDR like you mentioned..Sorry for the late reply, I took a break from it before I did something I would regret..hehe..Comic	unknowncomic (13564)

Once in the Windows XP setup menu, press the “R” key to repair Windows. Ok when I put the CD in and I get to the setup menu it does not offer the option to repair, it offers to install,delete partition, or partition the existing partition. In the very beginning it does offer to use the recovery console, when I select that option it prompts me to insert the recovery disk in the A: drive,and then press any key... I do not have that disk..never made one. But everything I read about the recovery console says it should prompt me for the CD, not a floppy. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter “E.” NOTE:This letter may be different on your computer. copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\ copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\ Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot. when you say copy those two files into the root directory of the HD is the example above the complete path ??( noting the drive letter may be different) example like this mydrive:\i386\ntldr c:\ there would be nothing after C:\ ??	unknowncomic (13564)
