Made a school boy error last night. Set up my desktop pc in my living room and set it up close to my washing machine (which was on a full cycle). Left the pc on, went out and when I came back it the computer had frozen. Restarted it and on booting I got the message ‘NTLDR is Missing’ and the machine goes no futher.
Thus it seems to me that my hard disk cannot be accessed – NTLDR is the part of the disk which loads Windows is it not?
Anyway, just wondering if anyone knew of the chances of recovering data off the disk and the best way to do it? Was thinking of taking the disk out of the PC chassis, loading it into another machine and 1) seeing what I can access on there (if anything) and 2) searching the net for some disk data-recovery/repair programs. Anyone know of any decent programs or indeed the best way to recover data?
Cheers in advance
