UNSOLVED
i edited this post to show all the solutions that i have tried
i get an error message when i try to boot my computer
"ntldr is missing press ctrl + alt + del to restart"
the computer worked the night before i got this message
i am using windows xp
i did not change the bios to boot fom hd first
i havent installed any new drives or adjusted any components inside the case
i emptied the disk trays
i dont have a thumb drive plugged in
i replaced the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files
i rebuilt the boot.ini
i repaired the windows xp installation
none of the things i tried worked
i am considering trying "fixmbr" but i am not sure if it will cause any adverse effects
if fixing it involves reinstalling windows is it possible for me to recover any files on my hd?
theres some weird stuff going on with my boot up screen.
like colored letters and stuff when it is normally all black background with white letters.
this is the error message and one colored letter
and then more colored letters
