Title: NTLDR Is missing (Uncommon)
Post by: Spawn28 on January 07, 2007, 04:53:38 PM
I visited this place,
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm
And I already knew I had to do all of that on my own.
But theirs something else going on here, my computer recognizes my keyboard for a little bit(I know cause I can access bios), but then when I try to push any key to boot from CD, it doesnt even know that theirs a keyboard. So it finishes the . . . . . and gives me the error from trying to boot from hard drive, and ctrl alt delete doesnt work for a restart.

So theirs something more going on here?
All I need help for is the keyboard, and maybe how I would find out the adminstrator password if all computers have one, if not, then my computer has no PW, other then that I should be okay.

Spawn28......  Ok .... now how about something we can work with , did you just wake up one morning and "NTLDR" was missing ?
or ......
Did something occur like a invasion of Malware ?

Were you doing something ?

What happened when you did the repair as described in the CH link ?

One of my friends thought it was a virus and deleted it like an idiot cause I have my computer set to show hidden files(little knowing my friend would delete *censored* stupid idiot)....
But the problem is I cant repair it, as it's not recognizing theirs a keyboard past the bios.
So when it askes me to push any key to boot from CD, it doesn't work.

Try reading the entire post :P.

Is this a USB keyboard? If so, try a real PS/2 one.

No, he means one that uses the standard keyboard port (a PS/2 connection) in the back of your computer instead of a USB connection.

I know, I was joking around cause I dont have a normal keyboard...
But the thing is, it works when I goto bios, but not 'press any key'...
Guess I'm off to the computer store for a new keyboard...

Your BIOS must recognize the USB keyboard have you checked
the BIOS?

The old PS/2 Keyboard and mouse,not to mention a 3.5 floppy
drive sure makes things easier.

Upcoming features:
1.Vista
2.No PS/2
3.No 3.5 floppy drive
4.McChortles

There is no substitute for proper hardware. I will have a floppy drive and a PS/2 keyboard forever.  ;)
