Problems with motherboard or bios????? - Club CDFreaks

*rfjr23* · 17-10-2004

Serious problem here got one pc that got 3 trojoans and i was trying to fix and oncw i removed them now during boot i get a messagae saying

"NTLDR is missing"

I can get to computer to boot but only with system disk in during boot process... Ihave tried to replace the files from the system disk to same location but all will not copy

After what i have looked at on the internet I came to the conclusion the i need to reflash the bios because it occurs during boot.......Am i right???
I have tried to use the disk that came with Motherboard but nothing works

The motherboard is Elite Group 848A Pentium 4

Does anyone know where i can get a new bios or alternitve ways of fixing this problem....Please help

NTLDR is a file in Windows so i wouldn't reflash your BIOS.
i can't remember how to replace or re-install the NTLDR file but maybe do a search on it.
or you could just re-install Windows as that would fix it.
hope this helps abit.

i just did a search on Google and there's a ton of info about Missing NTLDR file.
good luck.

I guess you run either Win2k or WinXP? Well... just boot from the installation CD of Windows. There you can choose to recover an installed version of windows (by pressing the R as soon as the "what action to take" screen pops up). You'll end up in a MS-DOS alike environment. By giving the command "fixboot" it should all be fixed. If not, you could try "fixmbr" as well. Be be cautious though, fixmbr can lead to non-accesable partitions.

Good luck
