This is the topic with greatest no. of readers, over the years! I have another easy to cure reason for the "missing NTDLR.." message. In multi-HDD computers, Award BIOS has an ordered list of the HDD's. XP-Pro only looks at the first and reports "Missing..." if it does not find it there. Check the Boot section of your BIOS and after "Boot order" there are headings for removable drives and HDD. Check the order of the HDD's there and bring the one with the boot sector to the top if it is not there already.
I have seen this twice, already, after new HDD's have been added to machines.
