Hi all!
I suppose you already know when the NTLDR problem appears when you boot but what is happening seems a bit strange.
When I set the hard drive as the 1st boot device and the cd as th 2nd, I get this error.
When I set the cd as 1st boot device and the hard drive as 2nd and I have no cd in the drive I get this error.
When I set the cd as 1st boot device and the hard drive as 2nd and I have a cd in the drive, be it windows xp or asus drivers cd, I get the option to press any key to boot from cd and if I don't press any key, the computer boots alright!!!
The details:
My hard drive that has the windows os is the e: which is also the boot drive. I can see that from the BIOS as well as from edit boot.ini which shows me an rdisk2, and 2 in diskmgmt is the e: drive. The c: in diskmgmt appears to be the system drive.
I tried to copy ntldr and ntldetect from windows xp cd to e: from the recovery console but access is denied.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys....
