ntldr is missing: Windows XP

[Orion]

Hjelp!!! Jeg har et problem.. Etter å ha installert og avinstallert en rekke programmer bestemte jeg meg for å installere xp på nytt. Jeg bootet fra XP cd'en slettet hele c partisjonen (der xp allerede var installert), formaterte den og kjørte en ny clean install. Når jeg så skal reboote maskinen får jeg beskjeden "ntldr is missing". Jeg klarer å boote med xp-cd'en i cd-rommen. Jeg har formatert og installert 4 ganger nå, får samme feilen uansett. Jeg har prøvd med både ntfs og fat som filsystem. Har sjekket hele hardisken for virus, har sjekket den for overflatefeil. filen ntldr ligger på hardisken i c: etter hver install. Det har jeg kontrollert.

 

Og nei..Jeg har ikke en diskett i diskettstasjonen..

 

Noen som har peil på dette?

Har du prøvd dette da?

Hvis du formaterer alle harddiskene som har hatt OS, og booter fra CD'en, og installerer kan ikke den meldingen komme. under installasjonen må jo du restarte maskinen, og da funker ntloaderen hvis installasjonen fortsetter...

er dette en oppgradering eller full pakke?

 

prøv å reparer med recovery console, sjekk:

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install Windows XP or to upgrade to Windows XP on a computer that runs Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), you may receive the following error message after the first restart during the installation process:

 

NTLDR is missing

Press any key to restart

This behavior occurs only if Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me is installed on a large-capacity drive that uses the FAT32 file system.

 

 

 

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if your existing Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me installation was cloned and then applied to a drive that has a different geometry from that of the source drive of the cloned copy.

 

One possible scenario is as follows: You are running Windows 98 on a 4-gigabyte (GB) drive. After you upgrade, for example to a 30-GB hard disk, you use a third-party disk-imaging utility to make a mirror image of your Windows 98 installation and apply the image to the new drive. At a later time, you then upgrade to Windows XP, installing Windows XP over the cloned image of Windows 98.

 

For this behavior to occur, the following conditions must exist:

 

The system/boot partition is formatted with the FAT32 file system.

 

 

The computer boots by using INT-13 extensions (a partition larger than 7.8 gigabytes with a System-ID type of 0C in the partition table).

 

 

Because of the cloning procedure, the Heads (sides) value in the FAT32 BIOS Parameter Block (BPB) does not match the geometry of the physical drive.

 

 

The Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me boot code ignores the Heads value in the BPB and starts those programs even though the value is invalid. However, the boot code in Windows 2000 and Windows XP needs this value, and the boot process does not succeed if the value is invalid.

 

 

 

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, correct the invalid Heads (sides) value in the FAT32 BPB to enable the Windows XP boot process to continue. The easiest way to update the field is to rewrite the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me boot code by using the following procedure:

 

Restart the computer by using a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me startup disk that contains the Sys.com file (this file is included by default).

 

 

At a command prompt, type sys c: . This command rewrites the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me boot code with accurate BPB information. If this command runs successfully, skip to step 3.

 

If you are using a Windows Me startup disk and you receive an error message, "Cannot find the system file in the standard locations on drive C:", one or more files in the Windows Me installation have been removed. Use the following steps to place the correct files on the drive so that the sys command can locate them:

 

 

Start a command prompt by using the following commands (that is, type the commands and press ENTER after each command):

 

 

c:

cdwindows

If Windows is installed in a folder other than the Windows folder, adjust the commands accordingly.

 

 

Try to switch to the Command folder by using the following command:

cd command

If an error message indicates that the path is not found, use the following command to create the Command folder, and then run cd command again:

 

 

md command

Switch to the EBD folder by using the following command:

cd ebd

If an error message indicates that the path is not found, use the following command to create the EBD folder, and then repeat the cd ebd command:

 

 

md ebd

In the EBD folder, use the following commands to copy the Io.sys file from the root of the hard drive and to rename the Io.sys file as Winboot.sys :

 

 

attrib -s -h -r c:io.sys

copy c:io.sys winboot.sys

 

 

Winboot.sys is the file that Sys.com needs.

Switch back to drive A, and then run the following commands:

 

 

a:

sys c:

Restart the computer to Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me, and then try the Windows XP installation or upgrade procedure again.

 

NOTE : Alternatively, after you run the sys c: command, you can boot to the Recovery Console, and then use the fixboot command to rewrite the Windows XP boot code. This procedure enables the original installation to proceed typically.

Takk for hjelpen alle sammen. Jeg fant ut av det tilslutt. Det var noen instillinger i Bios'en som rotet det til.
