Ive got a friends laptop here that im trying to fix, Dont know what hes done to it...

When you switch it on it comes up with a error message saying..

NTLDR is missing Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart.

He has no boot disks or anything to go back..

How can i solve this problem?

Thanks
 
Wait ill have a look on my dads hd because he had the same problem and my cousin saved a notepad file that tells you how to sort it out.
 
Here we go:

'Windows XP users

Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.

When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.

Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the "R" key to repair Windows.

Log into your Windows installation by pressing the "1" key and pressing enter.

You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.

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". This letter may be different on your computer.

copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\'

Hope that helps.
