Question ntldr

On booting I recieve, NTLDR is missing, press anykey to restart. On examination I found that the NTLDR file is in the root directory, does anyone know how to repair this problem, I know with win98 you could repair the boot sector with fdisk /mbr, is there a way to do this with winxp?
Thanx

Sounds like you need to run Recovery Console from your setup CD and use the FIXBOOT command.

Thanx Sowulo, I knew there was a recovery console command for that, just did not know what it was.
