it says NTLDR is missing. It then says to press cntrl+alt+del and then it does it again. It does this on startup, not in windows btw
 
If you you have more than one drive in your system, maybe you are not booting off the primary (boot) drive. I remember when I was swittching cables on my RAID array, I would have that error come up. I just had to get all my drive cables set up correctly and then all was well.

Good luck.
 
Short for NT Loader, a program loaded from the hard drive boot sector that displays the Microsoft Windows NT startup menu and helps Windows NT load.

Often a user will see the message "NTLDR is Missing" after attempting to install Windows 2000 or Windows XP, or upgrade a Windows 95-based or Windows 98-based computer to Windows 2000 or Windows XP. The message appears after the first reboot. This occurs only if Windows 95 or 98 has been installed on a drive with the FAT32 file system.

To correct the problem, the user must boot the computer with a Windows 95 or 98 Startup diskette or another bootable diskette with sys.com on it. Then, at the "A:\>" prompt, type "sys c:" and press "enter." A "System Transferred" prompt should appear and then the user must reboot the computer without the diskette.
