Hi all
I have a laptop which shows the following error message
when trying to boot:
"NTLDR is missing press ctrl-alt-del to restart"
I can hear the HDD motion but its as though the drive
cannot be read from
Anyone any thoughts?

Hi
& thanks for the information. It looks like either a
connection to the HDD or a damaged cable to the HDD....
Thanks again
Andy
