NTLDR Missing After Auto Reboot

I have a Proliant 5500 Dual Xeon 500 server, with a Compaq 2DH Controller (boot raid 5) and a Adaptec 3210S controller running Windows 2000 Server. I have also tried Win NT 4 to no avail. Here is the problem:

Anywhere between a couple of days, to a couple of hours, the computer just shuts down to the screen of "It is now safe to turn off your computer" and when you reboot, it sometimes is missing the ntldr and "root of c: files (IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS, etc" This is getting really old, since it is a file server. Wierd thing is, some of our workstations do the same thing. Has anyone ran into that?

Thanks in advance.

Looks to me like a virus or trojan problem, or something rotten with the harddisks/storage. But explore the virus route first.
 
We had this a while ago. Use an up to date scanner, and you will probably find KLEV32 virus.
