ran fixboot c

now says ntldr ic missing

[Geoffers]

Ahhh - this could be a good thing.

Boot from the CD, enter the Recovery Console and type :

Copy D:I386-ntldr C:

(Assuming d: is your CD drive. - should be a backslash. The site doesn't seem to like it)

Reboot and let me know what happens.

Did you try a re-install from the CD?

now where is that hammer

cant touch this

Hmmm - perhaps ntldr is already there but the system can't read it.

It is a hidden, system, read only file. You will need to remove the attributes before you can copy over it.

Start with the CD again, recovery console, etc.

type :

cd "-" (replace - with backslash and make sure you use the quotes)

attrib -h -s -r ntldr

(these are mean't to be dashes)

and try copying again. This should allow it to be overwritten. I think you will find better results throwing it out of the window than with a hammer.......
