Hey bro,

 

First, sorry you're havin' problems with it. NTLDR missing is a serious error. Easiest fix is this:

 

1) Buy a new hard drive just big enough to hold your critical files (music, photos, documents, etc) plus Windows XP.

 

2) Change your hard drive assignment on the crashed drive (usually a jumper on the back of the drive) and install your new hard drive as the master.

 

3) Boot from your XP disk and install to the new partition (allow about 1.25 hours for format and installation).

 

4) Once installed, you should be able to launch Explorer and view your old hard drive.

 

5) Copy only your critical data files (photos, music, et al) onto the new drive.

 

6) Reformat the old drive and either reinstall Windows on it, or use it as a place for your games.

 

Then you have to reinstall GRAW 1 & 2. They should be able to co-exist on the system, however one obviously caused this error.

 

If you try to boot from CD ROM with the Windows install disk to repair your current hard drive, that's another valid way to do it, but I do not know the commands to restore NETLDR.sys. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

 

...Hey, does this mean that you can't kill me on the BDA server right now? hehehe I think I'll go over there for a while.

 

Good luck, bro.

you could go into your bios on boot up.

 

Find the boot menu

 

look for HDD boot order

 

make the good system drive number 1

 

Currently you must have the bad system drive set as number 1.

 

I hope you can do this on your PC, I know I can do it on mine.

 

Cheers

Phil

I thought the raptor isn't that old, is it too old to be under warantee? Get the files off it like the lads have said and ask WD for a RMA.

 

Best of luck mate

First

 

Dont do anything else than move the clear cmos jumper on your Mobo and for good measures remove the batery also.

 

Leave it for about 30 sec and but the battery back in and remember to move the jumper back to the original place.

 

 

Then start the computer

 

 

If not

 

Set your boot sequence in ther bios to cd/dvd and put in the xp dvd into the drive and reboot when prompted press a button to boot from dvd

 

If not either......... A new xp installation ;)

I got it all sorted now, I unplugged the raptor and it started right up so i plugged it back in and the same thing hapened as before......SOOOOO i un plugged my old old 3rd HDD and then its all fine even with the raptor plugged in. Im pretty sure its the old HDD.....it had windows millenium installed on it and the raptor also has windows xp installed on it alos...so i have 3 HDD all have windows on them......LOL.....thanks again for all the replies.
