Hi,my XPHome keeps coming up with NTLDR is missing, has done it twice,had to re-install,I have tried to do a fix from the 'recovery console' but it will not accept my admin.password,even though it IS correct!!Apparently there is a Microsoft 'fix' for this, Q308402. But I cannot find it,does anyone know how to fix this?or I am into endless re-installs.Thanks.
 
Just a remark concerning recovery console. You are sure you are using the correct password? The inbuilt Administrator account and the account with administrative rights you are using are not the same.
If you are not concerned about security, make this change in the registry and the recovery console will no longer ask for a password

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Setup\RecoveryConsole
SecurityLevel REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)
 
Thanks....

OK,I have made that change,thanks a lot.Hope I never need it,by the way my boot CD drive is 'G' what does it change to when booting from CD, as it never tells me.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
