OT - NTLDR has me down

| Running SCO 5.0.5
| HP Vectra server "designed for Windows NT /Windows 98"
| Backupedge with Recover Edge 2 Boot and Filesystem diskettes"

| This is off-topic but I suspect that there more practical UNIX wizards here 
| than any other place that I could turno

Wrong, 'cause you'll find many more SCO Unix wizards in comp.unix.sco.misc.

|                                         In the shutting down and
| rebooting my system, I got an error message "NTLDR Missing, Press any
| key to restart."  Of course, pressing any key does nothing other than
| to repeat the message. I have had this error on PC's that I use as
| terminals. They were fixed with a 3-4 stay at a shop. But, we can't
| afford to be out of the filepro or UNIX business that long, even if we
| could find a shop that isn't spooked by UNIX.  I have a current (last
| night) full system tape backup and Recover EDGE 2 diskettes, but I
| suspect that won't cure my NTLDR woes, or will they?  Any advice or
| help will be appreciated.

Are your floppy and CD drives empty?

And if that's not the problem, do boot from Recover Edge and overwrite
the boot tracks.
