So I've searched through similar threads on TH, but have not been able to find a solution to fix my particular issue. I purchased this PC used many years ago from a local classifieds. The PC has been great, with the exception of a boot issue in Windows 7, the dreaded "ntldr is missing".
I have tried reformatting and changing boot priority to no avail. To be honest, this issue has been going on for a very long time, and after trying many things in the past without success, I decided I was going to live with it. As it turns out, I have some free time on my hands again, and would love to take care of the issue once and for all.
My PC stays on all the time, however, when I get a windows update and the PC reboots, this "ntldr is missing" will come up everytime. I then need to go into my bios and manually select my ssd, and it boots OK. I have read that this has something to do with the boot files being on a different drive than the windows install? That could very well be possible as I didn't do the initial installation of Windows on this PC, and I'm not sure if it was a clean install or an upgrade from a previous version. I do recall unplugging all other IDE storage drives, and having the boot issue go away, so that would make sense.
Is there a way I could wipe the boot information from the other storage drives? Or perhaps there's an easier way to go about this?
