I have a windows 2000 pro computer. The old hard drive went bad a month ago, so i quickly replaced it and installed a fresh copy of 2000 on the new drive. Now a month later, this new drive won't boot. I get the NTLDR missing error when i try and boot up. I've tried the recovery console, but fixboot and fixmbr don't work. If i put the drive in my xp pro computer as an ide slave drive, it says the drive hasn't been formatted and can't be opened, but the data is still there (i saw it with another disk utility). Is there anyway to rebuild the ntldr files without having to reinstall the drive?
