I cloned my hard drive using Maxblast but the newdrive gave an error "missing ntloader." 
I boot up with the Win2000CD, but how do I use the "console" to repair my installation? 
I was not able to create an ERD because ny floppy drive is broken. I want all my 
programs so I do not want to run setup.  Thanks.

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

Later, at the recovery console you can say 'help' (no quotes) and get a list of commands. While at the recovery console you might try twp commands: fixmbr fixboot .. if all goes well, type 'exit' (no quotes) and restart the system.

The recovery console is a Advance tool, read all about in the HELP in win2k.. Like many items in win2k you must set it up for the Admin. so you can use the tool...at reboot....enable many items and if you don't it's just one more program from M$. It's a very strong program it will let rename,copy,move del.,etc. from the recovery console...it's almost like many of the DOS commands but under the NT format... ======= Are you a wood worker ?,if so Click Here On Sunday, October 5, 2008 at 8:21 am, DEX wrote: >Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites > >Click Here > > > > >You may want to use Ghost, it will clone the drive right. > >http://www.symantec.com/norton/ghost > >======== > > > > Are you a wood worker ?,if so Click Here > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Win2000 repair without ERD Sunday, October 5, 2008 at 8:17 pm Posted by anu (242 messages posted) Thanks.
