Fix NTLDR w/o Windows Disk?

[theredx219]

I need to address a "NTLDR is missing" error, but I don't have a windows xp CD. The laptop also failed the dst short status test. Is there anything that I can do to fix it w/o the CD or replacing the hard drive?

No there is no way to fix the curupted windows files without the disk that has the files.

Is it a OEM computer or custom built?

OEM

You can try torrents to download the correct OEM disc.

Is it by chance a Dell?

XP Pro or XP Home?

Home

Ohh ok, if it was pro I have a disc image for it and there would be nothing illegal or rule violating about me making it available to you.

Since it is home you will have to search torrents or other areas for something like "dell windows xp home"

Actually, this laptop isn't mine, it's a friends, and it turns out that it is xp pro. Do you think you could still make it available to me?

I didn't check the OS version, I had just assumed.
