Apparently the NTLDR is a problem in SP2. I was going to do a low level format & install xp pro c/w 1a service pack & try & avoid all this.

When I do get it started in windows it loads& again mcafee doesn't find anything. That's what leads me believe I have a boot virus. I see a little smiling face on the right of the dos window. do a dir on my c drive its says i have 6 bytes on my c drive. Only using the boot disk I get in a dos prompt & try to format c: not allowed is what I get back. Well no way to execute this the way that was described has left me using a boot disk to start it again. Checking through different forums I found this bcudate2 utility which apparently repairs this problem. Problems: every other boot I get NTLDR is missing. I just put together a new PC for my business with the following: motherboard Asus P5RD1-V, Intel P4, 3.0G processor, 775 socket.
