I was just experimenting a little (Windows XP) and made myself a boot disk with ntldr on it, and then deleted the ntldr file from C:\ When I rebooted of course I get the "missing ntldr"..............when inserting my bootdisk the computer was able to boot into windows just fine.................but I was wondering, how would I replace ntldr, ntdetect, or boot.ini without a working XP machine...........
Say, the XP machine was the only comptuer I had and so I could not download any boot disks, from another computer... Would the OEM factory image CD have the files?
