Missing NTLDR

[Mr.Joecat]

I hope this is the right forum for this question. I have a "Missing NTLDR" problem where my computer won't boot up, and before coming to this forum I've tried every fix I found online, with no luck, so hopefully someone out there is expert enough to suggest something. I've tried using a reboot disc and a startup disc, both as a floppy and as a CD. I've made sure both contained NTLDR, NTdetect.com, and boot.ini files as suggested, but they don't work. The computer is trying to access them (I can hear it trying) but either the information on the discs is not being read correctly or it just won't work. So I can't get into my computer to edit anything, I can't upload any fixes by inserting discs, and I can't even run it on safe mode. Is there anything else I can try or has my computer become just one big paperweight? Thanks for any help you can give!

welcome to the forums, Mr. Joecat

i always follow this guide when i have that problem: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000465.htm

if it comes down to it, you can always do a repair install of windows which will merely replace system files, not your personal ones. i would try following that guide tho, as it has always worked for me. good luck and post back if you have any problems
