Ntldr missing.

Heres the scoop, I had windows xp sp3 installed on my laptop. Got windows 7 ultimate, wasnt sure if it would install correctly. I installed it from windows as it wouldnt install from boot and installed it to a seperate partition. It installed just fine, gave me the option to choose xp or 7 at startup. I was like awsome it works well with my laptop. (Dell Latitude D630)

So i went and deleted, formated and moved the empty partition to where windows 7 is located.

after reboot it now says NTLDR missing. any ideas?

Only other option is to reinstall xp.rolleyes

 

Can you boot from that Win 7 disk and do a repair?

 

Oddly enough I cant boot from the cd, checked bios its fine, even if i change it to cd in bios and turn all other boot devices off, nothing.

 

Do you get an option for a recovery console on boot up?

 

no, I just reloaded windows. thanks though.

 

you could try a repair floppy with instructions from http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm
