Ntldr Missing

[DABhand]

Its quite simple you see.

NTLDR is the NT Loader, which is on your old drive since you dual booted.

And since you removed your old one, the NTLDR is missing and doesnt see any bootup information.

There is a way to fix this.

Boot up from your windows 2000 and on the first screen, press R, to goto the repair console.


In there you can use bootcfg (i think do a help commond for a list). It will search for an OS on that drive then you can add a name for it to boot up for, and no need for switches or extra parameters when asked.

Restart and boot up into win2000.


OR


Do a windows 2000 install, when it recognises your 2000 instead of deleting it, tell it to repair the installation (this is further than 1st screen). It will reinstall but keep your settings and files.
