22:08 rue_more like a usb disk or cd or something?
22:08 Tom_itx i ran that bootrecover tool i forget the name...
22:08 rue_more well, use linux , get your data off, and reinstall as OS on it
22:08 katsmeow-afk How To Fix NTLDR is Missing and Related NTLDR Errors
22:08 katsmeow-afk How To Fix NTLDR is Missing Errors A Troubleshooting Guide for NTLDR is Missing Errors in Windows XP
22:08 Tom_itx that will take forever
22:08 rue_more no it wont
22:09 Tom_itx i copied the ntldr files again and the ntdetect.xxx
22:09 katsmeow-afk http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/ntldrmissingxp.htm
22:09 Tom_itx i've tried everything i can find
22:09 rue_more you just boot knoppix, copy the files from the hard drive to a machine on the network, and your good to wipe the drive and start an os insall
22:09 rue_more you paid for windows, use it
22:09 Tom_itx i'll have to reinstall everything though
22:10 Tom_itx i've done it before...
22:10 rue_more yup, its the cost of using windows
22:10 katsmeow-afk put the boot cd into the drive, change the boot sequence to CD *first*
22:10 Tom_itx i did
22:10 Tom_itx been down that road kat
22:10 Tom_itx more than once
22:11 Tom_itx since like 3 this afternoon
22:11 rue_more I'v never seen windows perform well for more than a year anyhow
22:11 Tom_itx it started off saying something about the license so i got a new key
22:12 Tom_itx then every time i get a new key and reboot the ethernet controller borks
22:12 Tom_itx i don't know if it's a virus or what
22:12 katsmeow-afk the cmos button?
22:12 Tom_itx it doesn't bork until i renew the key though
22:12 rue_more windows isn't open source crap, windows works because you pay for it
22:12 Tom_itx i could wait 3 days and it would be fine until i got a new key
22:13 Tom_itx this pc has been running fine for years btw
22:13 Tom_itx i think the psu may be going
22:13 katsmeow-afk general hdd failure?
22:13 Tom_itx which is a contributing factor
22:13 rue_more microsoft trusts you, thats why you have to take 15 minutes every time you install windows to get a key to make it work
22:13 Tom_itx no the hdd hasn't shown any signs of failure
22:13 Tom_itx i'm not here to argue OS, i'm just trying to fix it
22:14 rue_more by reinstalling
22:14 rue_more linux can get your data off for you tho
22:14 Tom_itx as a last resort i will
22:14 Tom_itx i can get the data off
22:15 Tom_itx i may try it in another pc first
22:15 rue_more its not your main cad machine is it?
22:15 Tom_itx yes
22:15 rue_more ... its not he same machine that runs the cnc is it?
