harmertrials Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 When I switch on my computer it goes through the normal starting process until a black screen comes up reading:"oot from CD:TLDR is missingress Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" Obviously the text is slightly offset on the screen so there is a letter missing on each, my problem is what comes before "TLDR"...When I press Ctrl + Alt + Del it restarts it and goes through the same process again. Is there anyway that I can fix this from the boot menu or something?Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually had this problem a few years ago and all it took last time was a bit of messing around on either the bios setup or the boot menu... But I can't remember which :/But I'm trying to avoid having to ring up a call centre at extortionatte costs for an hour haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 help?Assuming it is the ntldr missing then in my experience its windows not knowing where to find the OS, usually caused by the boot sequence changing - particularly if you have multiple hard disks installed. Reset the boot sequence and it should be fine, if not its possible the disk has been corrupted and it needs recovering - not sure exactly as I usually just format and reinstall windows from fresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krisboats Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 You tried pulling out the hard drive data cable (IDE or SATA) and the power ones from both the drive and the motherboard and then plugging them back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
