Hello,
I have been running XP (home) on a Sata drive for a few months now without a problem. Yesterday one other sata drive disappeared. I unplugged the drive and plugged it back in and it reappeared. After a reboot, I got the dreaded "NTLDR is missing" message. I have not been able to repair the XP installation. I have reformatted and reinstalled using a slipstream disk with SP2. The system will boot if I leave the slipstream disk in the cd-rom. Once I remove it I get the NTLDR missing message again. I've tried everything I know how to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mike W
