    Booting Problems..
    « on: October 06, 2009, 03:22:07 PM »
    NTLDR is missing
    Press any key to restart


    this is the error i encountered when i starting the windows, my friend told me that i need to reformat the hard disk and install again the Operating System coz of this NTLDR.. but the problem was, i got this message everytime i boot from CD:
    Boot CD-ROM Type: Non-Emulation Booting
    CDBOOT: Cannot boot from CD - Code: 1


    the bootable CD is good coz i use it also in the other computer and its work, i suspected that maybe the CD ROM cannot read the CD...? have any idea of this? Please help....

    Where is this CD from and what does it say on the cover ? ?

    If it's marked with a Sharpie all bets are off...

      I lost power durring a system restore.
      No boot disc will work.
      I am getting:
      err 5: Error finding VFLOPPY.SYS
      err 8: Fake Floppy driver not found
      Press any key to boot active partition.
       
      And the computer wont let me enter into setup mode.
       
      How can I save my computer?

      You should create your own thread. You'll get a better response and it doesn't interfere with the original poster in this thread receiving help.
