grub dual boot problem


Whenever I try to boot Windows from Grub, I get the message "NTLDR is missing". If I do fixmbr from a Windows CD, won't that overwrite grub? How is this problem fixed?

Using your XP CD, get to the Recovery Console, then do:

Code:
copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
If e:\ isn't your CD/DVD drive, substitute whatever letter.
Remove CD, reboot, and hope for the best.
