Wotcha, either they've left a floppy in or the HDD has gone duff.

 

Ntdetect.com - This is a hidden, read-only system file used to examine the hardware available and to build a hardware list.

Ntdetect.com is missing, Use the emergency repair process.

 

Tried using an emergency repair disk, but it is not a bootable disc, says you need to boot to the setup cd rom them insret the floppy when prompted, however this user is off site and they do not have the setup cd's

 

I was thinking of the NTLDR error message on boot, sorry Nelix. Just goes to show I should engage brain before keyboard

 

No problem Phil, Just going to have to travell to the machine in question and do it there

 

You going to have to travel far?

 

I was also feeling a bit "puny" in my knowledge of NTDETECT for decided to look it up: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/ntdetect-o.asp Hope this helps.
