:-? hi, this is my first time so bear with me please. I get NTLDR is missing error on my sony laptop that I purchased second hand. I have three "system recovery CD", three "application recovery CD", and one "click to DVD recovery cd". I looked up in a smartcomputing Q&A board, how to fix this and there were directions for it. I have a windowsXP OS. in the directions to repair this it keeps saying to use win2000 disk. I don't know where to start, with which disk, or if its the right suggestion to use. I don't know what the disks that I do have, mentioned above, mean either. which one would be my OS disk? can I use these at all to help. Is anyone fimiliar or following me with what I am asking. I am told it would cost 300 hundred at least to have this repaired at a bestbuy or where ever. I don't have that kind of money. I was suggested by smartcomputing magazine subscribers to go here and ask for help. Please ask any questions you need to help me. I am not even sure if I am using this site right.
Please forgive my ignorance, and please accept my thank yous in advance. sincerely, and desparate, donna ( its a old sony vaio laptop that has been taken care of by original owner. I am asked for the password but i don't know it. I was told to go to another place to figure out how to do that., it would be such a waste if this cannot be fixed. it really is a nice little laptop., nice features and graphics. ) :-/ [smiley=sad.gif] I am going to try to attach the error solution I recieved. if it doesn't work sorry,but lets hope it does. like I said, I am new to this, and soooo tired of searching for help, (6 months now) [smiley=embarassed.gif] I can't find file formats to open what I copied to my wordproccessor. it asked if I would allow it to open with my word pad, but I am worried that everyone would have access to all my stuff then. sorry I just don't know enough to do this. I chose to modify and I am deleteing the file if any were there.
