Guest alexxchris Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm with reference to the above, as I don't see the repair install, so I use 'warning #2" after copying the i386 files, I typed in 1. attrib -h -r -s C:\boot.ini del C:\boot.ini "but I get the message that the parameter is not valid. Try /? for help". There is no mistake in my typing and I just wonder if someone can help. As I am unable to get over #1, I have not issue the #2 command which is below 2. Type: BootCfg /Rebuild Other detail; Toshiba Labtop, with XP Home, "fixboot" does not help Many thanks

Should be two separate commands: attrib -h -r -s C:\boot.ini {press Enter} del C:\boot.ini {press Enter}
Guest alexxchris Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: ntldr missing Prior to reading your post, so after copying the i386 files and I reboot the pc. Its reboot (with a message) and manage to get to desktop. As it is the boot sequence is set as cd rom/hdd/floppy The message is 'invalid boot.ini and boot from c:\windows' and it goes to desktop. So I decided it should boot from hdd disk and when I change the sequence,hdd/cd/ the pc cannot boot up. It gives me a blank screen with the mouse indicating some process going on 9by changing of hour glass) but nothing appears. If I change it back to cd rom/hdd, its ok and it will go to desktop. Any idea why? Should I still go to the Recovery console and put in the last 2 commands, the attribute and the delete boot.

Guest nass Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: ntldr missing Hi Alex &Chris, It may be your Hard drive cluster/sectors got corrupted to no going back (repair), and I think you should get the Hal.DLL is missing or Ntoskrnl and so. You Hard drive by the looks of you trying to resolve the issue, has been suffering from Sever Overheating, which make things PIE inside <G>, before doing anything, hook this HDD to another PC as salve Drive and copy/rescue your Data on a Removable storage, then test this HDD health by downloading the manufacturer of the hDD Diagnostic tools to test. Perform a clean install is your best option, as this fix will not last or hold for long!!.
