HELP.........NTLDR is missing

[tlwolflove71]

I had to re-format my computer and now when I try to reboot it is giving my an error message saying NTLDR is missing. How do I fix this?

Can you provide some more info? After you reformated your drive did you reinstall the OS? If so what OS?
NTLDR is a file at the root of the drive that along with seveal others like boot.ini is used to boot a 32 bit OS like XP.
One last thing, make sure you do not have a floppy disk in the drive (I made that error once and did ever feel stupid once I removed it!)
