Here is basically what happened:
---LT was working fine until my C: turned red when I opened "computer".
---I had just completed downloading itunes tv shows and thought itunes was on my external HD, but it was on C: , which made it turn red since it was almost to capacity
---I attempted to move itunes to the EHD by backing up all the iTunes data to the EHD; then uninstalling itunes from C: and then re-installing iTunes on the EHD (just like my Amazon movie player is installed; never have had problrms with it) and there was plenty of space for the switch
---LT asked to restart and when it booted, there was a bootfile message error that past by quickly so I never got the exact terminology of that error.
---I was told to goto F8 to repair the problem.
---When I did this and then rebooted the LT (as requested by the LT) I encountered:
"NTLDR is missing" press CTL+ALT+DEL to restart
---When I did this, the LT just became stuck on a loop of reboots with this message
---This happened about a week ago and I hadn't tried anything else until today when I was able to obtain a working computer (windows XP)
---I followed all the directions from the following site: http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm
and nothing worked after attempting every direction and error solutions.
---However, all the references are for Windows XP
Is there something different I need to do to repair this problem since my broken computer laptop (LT) is Windows 7?
Please Help??
