| | Hi guys, so here's my problem I have Vista Home Premium wit an ASUS P5N-SLI motherboard and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I have 2 hard drives, a primary master, which has my vista files, and a primary slave which has my other data. i also have two cd roms, in the secondary master and secondary slave ports. When i boot up, i get this annoying message saying that NTLDR is missing and it tells me to reboot. It boots up fine if i have the CD in. I looked up this problem, and people were saying that if i repair windows and go into command prompt and use the bootrec.exe function then it would fix the problem. i tried bootrec/fixmbr and bootrec/fixboot functions, and neither of them worked. i'm all out of ideas. does anybody have any idea why this is happening? and how i can fix it? any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance |

| First of all when you initially installed Vista was it an upgrade version from XP to Vista.
If your copy of Vista is not an upgrade version,but you have had XP installed prior to installing Vista,try the following.
Download/install VistaBootPRO:

Launch VistaBootPRO,click on 'Manage OS Entries'.
If there's any reference to 'XP',highlight it and delete it.
Restart your pc.

| | i tried that program, and it didn't find any traces of XP on my system. I did have XP on before vista, but i completely reformatted the hard drive, not just using a quick format. if you have any more ideas please let me know. thanks |
