Help! I went to boot up my SuSE 8.2 system this evening and the process stopped with a table listing the PCI devices followed by: NTLDR is missing Press any key to continue This is an 1.4 Mhz Athlon with 750 mb of RAM and two RAID 1 (mirror) arrays on a 3Ware Escalade controller. /, /boot, & /opt are on separate partitions on the first array and /home is by itself on the second array (along with swap). All the partitions are Reiser FS Grub is the boot loader installed. During the boot process both RAID arrays are recognized and when I boot the rescue system I can mount any of the partitions without problem. The system has operated without a major problem since I first set it up when 8.2 was released, and that was a fresh install. No other OS has ever been on it so this error message is especially unnerving as it appears from my research it's a MS error message. Can anybody offer any suggestions as to what I need to do to fix the problem. (I'm going to do a clean install of 9.0, but it won't arrive until next week.)

Boy do I feel stupid. That was the problem. I use floppies so seldom that I never even thought to check that. Thanks to everyone who replied for the suggestion. George -- Some mornings it just doesn't seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps. Emo Philips

Don't feel too bad. I've done that on a Win2K machine. I'd almost had the reinstall started when I found the disk in the drive. -- Homepage http://scott.exti.net XFce desktop environment http://www.xfce.org Goodies for the XFce desktop http://xfce-goodies.berlios.de
