Hi,

My brother was clearing files from the root drive and upon resetting the PC, Windows no longer boots up. It seems he has accidently deleted a criticial file.

A black screen now comes up saying "NTLDR is missing".

1) Where can I get this file? (I tried the Windows CD but could not find it).

2) How can I restore it back to the C: to get Windows running again?

I must note, the computer has no floppy drive so I would need to use a CD. How can I boot the computer in DOS without a floppy disk, and then copy the file across?

Or is there another solution?

Please help ASAP as there are some important files on the computer that I cannot afford to lose.

Cheers.
