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?

The factory image being the CD you get with the laptop from the manufacturer? Yes. It would do so by reinstalling the operating system.
The Windows CD can repair the Windows installation without having to reinstall the entire OS however.

But could I copy the ntldr file from the factory disk, without having to reintall?
