Use the Recovery Console to fix the "NTLDR is missing error." You can fix missing or damaged boot files using the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console is a text-based startup of Windows that gets you to a command prompt similar to the Windows command prompt. Here you can copy or expand the system and booting files.
Key Takeaway: The most common causes for a computer to display the error "NTLDR is missing" are:
1. The computer is booting from a non-bootable device.
2. HDD is not set up in the BIOS.
3. Corrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file.
4. Mis-configured boot.ini file.
