NTLDR

My son has a Toshiba Laptop running Windows XP Pro. When we turn it on, all
we get is NTLDR missing. Is there any way to fix this without wiping out
his entire hard drive?

A quick, TEMPORY, fix is to format a floppy on a good XP machine, and
copy "Boot.ini", "Ntdetect.com", "Ntldr" to it. Boot your system with the
floppy in the drive.. For a permanent fix........
