ntldr error

About this tag
The ntldr error is a common boot issue encountered when trying to start Windows, particularly in dual-boot setups involving Windows XP and Windows 7 or Vista. Users report the 'NTLDR is missing' message when booting from USB drives, after changing active partitions, or following hibernation. Troubleshooting often involves using tools like EasyBCD to repair the boot configuration, checking boot.ini files, and ensuring the correct partition is set as active. The error typically indicates that the NTLDR file is missing or corrupted, often due to incorrect boot settings or partition changes.
