ntldr is missing
 

went to boot up my editing computer and got ntldr is missing and it wont boot up into windows. anyone have this problem before? Could it be the motherboard battery is shot because my computer hasnt been keeping time I ignored it.

no your hard drive or the file system is shot, if the hard drive is ok just reinstall
and all will be fine. If you just reinstall then you will not have to load all your programs again.

The battery is the first thing to check. It could be the cmos and bios settings have changed with a bad battery.

usually your battery is a 2032 battery and easily found at most convienient stores.

I will check it first , when I first went to turn it on, the first thing that came up was to set up the cpu mhz. I thought that weird did it and then started booting then I got ntldr missing so you might be right. I will report back tomorrow on the fix

it was the battery thank you :)

You'll also get that sometimes if you've left a CD/DVD in.
