Help PPRune POP!
Trying to help PPRune Pop, who has a spanking new 'puter (WinFast mobi), and THOUGHT he had Win XP until yesterday. The 'system' drive is pretty new. He claims no changes since last boot.
Getting NTLDR missing message.
He tried a WIN XP CDROM 'install' but it would not recognise the CDROM in the middle of the process. I have taken him through the repair console, and that will not recognise his existing Windows installation - bootcfg /scan shows only the CDRom Windows. He is also 'forbidden access' to the 'copy ntldr' function. At this moment I have left him running a CHKDSK on the system drive.
Any ideas appreciated. Do we have a boot sector virus? Will 'fixboot' sort this out?
