After installing and upgrading to service pack 1 upon
restart my computer start up screen says "ntldr" missing.
I had to completely reformat my hard drive, any
suggestions to fix the "fix" that service pack 1 is
supposed to do?
 
Louis;
Sounds like you fixed it with a reformat.

Download SP1 again to be sure original was not corrupted during
download.
Do not use Express Installation.
You can order Service Pack 1a CD from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/ordercd.asp
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windowsxp/servicepacks/sp1.asp
Or:
Download the Network Installation from here: (be sure to select the
correct language)
Also select "Windows XP Professional and Home Edition" Do NOT select
64 bit.

DSL takes about 20 minutes, if you do not have high speed access, get
a friend to D/L SP1a for you.
Then burn it to a CD and keep for the future.
