How do you fix the error "NTLDR is missing. Press Alt + Enter + Delete to restart" on a COMPAQ laptop?

Question

Yeah, I need an answer. I've been going crazy just to make it work.

I don't have a floppy disc, and the CD way didn't work at all.

Well, my brother smashed my laptop because he was mad at me. :(

I think that's whats caused it. I've read about wiring can lead to this.

Any help at all?

Answer 1

search for ntldr  it is at microsoft and other places

it is free copy it to c:\windows\system32 AND

    to c:\windows

Answer 2

1st answer was nearly correct when booted from CD widows come up with what do you want to do

install. repair etc

Press the R key for repair and follow on from there

when windows reboots do NOT press any key until windows is loaded and remove CD

Answer 3

Set the boot sequence in bios to boot from cd/dvd first not the harddrive, make sure the cd is in the tray first before making these settings
