I was having some trouble with software so after I got fed up, I bought a program to erase the disk and start over. The software said to make a boot disk first, which I did. This was supposed to clean the disk so it was like a new hard drive. After it ran, I tried to boot up - I have used everything (old emergency disks, old boots, etc) including the boot disk I made. The only thing that comes to the screen is:
First the INTEL Pentium 4 screen comes up.
Then it says " NTLDR is missing. Press ctl-alt-del to restart "
Any suggestions????

Your "NT loader" is missing from your boot-up disk, Either make another, or try to boot up from your Operating System CD.

what you have done is YES wiped your hard disk clean. now what you have to do is reinstall windows
place the windows 98/XP cd into the cdrom drive and reboot the computer and it will start to install windows again. that is if you have got a windows XP/98 cd other wise you are in a mess because you will not have a operating system

I would try reinstalling your operating system (Windows XP for example).
Look at this page, it has a list of other possible problems.

Make sure that your bios is changed to boot from CD or floppy. I suppose it is not. First change it and then try again. Good luck!

Did you re-install windows ?? Can't run it if it isn't there.
