Ok heres what happened. I was in Linux (Mandriva 2005) and I was editing the config for lilo so that XP would show up top the list and Linux second with all the other stuff below that. Well after I edited it and got it to show up that way I tried to go back into XP. After I pick Windows on the lilo screen it gives me the "ntldr missing" message and has continued to say that since. I read somewhere to try using the recovery console on the XP disk to copy ntldr and ntdetect from the cd to the windows root directory. I tried that and still nothing although now when I start up my computer it makes this really weird beeping type noise from the pc speaker. It does it up to when lilo shows up. I'm running out of ideas of what to do and I'm really getting frustrated.
