How to Fix Missing NTLDR and Ntdetect.com files

Follow the steps to fix the error:-

Step 1
Insert the Windows installation CD into the computer's drive and reboot the machine. When the Machine starts a message displayed " press any key to boot."

Step 2
Now click the "R" key to choose "Recovery Console." option and then select the Windows installation that is required to be fixed. This is only mandatory if there are more than one version of Windows installed on the machine. For most users, clicking "1" selects the version of Windows installed.

Step 3
Now enter the administrator's password into the command prompt. After the password is entered, you are given a Windows command prompt where the NTLDR and ntdetect.com files are restored.

Step 4
After that type the following statements into the command prompt:

xcopy x:\i386\ntdetect.com c:
xcopy x:\i386\ntldr c:

and then press "Enter" key.

Note:- Replace "x" with the drive letter of your CD drive and replace "C" with the drive location for the Windows installation.

Step 5
Remove the boot disk and reboot your machine. Windows boots and the error are corrected.
