Hard drive was originally split into 2 partitions
C and D drive

Used windisk to delete D partition and split it into 2 halfs
formatted to FAT (cos wanted to use for ghost image)

reboot now says NTLDR is missing.

Any hope of recovery ?

Help gratefully received !!

I did this a few weeks back, iirc you can drop a copy of ntldr and boot.ini into the root.

It IS fixable.

If booting from the NT4 CD, ask it repair an install. Damned if I can remember which option you want beyond that though...

You haven't left a floppy in the drive have you?

Phew.

Solution.

Created a Windows 98 start up disk
Rebooted NT machine from Start up disk
re set active partition to the ms-dos6 partition # 1
(i had inadvertently set partition 2 to active)
