Windows XP and Fedora15 are installed in the system. Of course, Windows XP is installed first, and the system runs normally. Then, Fedora15 is installed and grub is used for dual system startup. At this time, Fedora15 can be started normally, however, when you select Other to enter the XP system, the screen displays only one row of NTLDRISMISSING. After searching for the Internet for a long time, many people have encountered NTLDRISMISSING errors, but the specific situations are different. Most of them are true.

Windows XP and Fedora 15 are installed in the system. Of course, the XP system is installed first and runs normally. Then, Fedora 15 is installed and grub is used for dual-system startup, at this time, Fedora 15 can be started and run normally. However, if you select Other to enter the XP system, the system fails, and only one row of ntldr is missing is displayed on the screen.

After searching for the Internet for a long time, many people have encountered the ntldr is missing error, but the specific situation IS different. Most of them are caused by the loss of the NTLDR file, but I have not performed any operations on the C drive, this should not be the case. I should be using grub for startup.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a similar one. Although the installed fedora version is different, the situation between the two sides should not be much different. So I fixed it according to the steps below. Indeed, the problem was solved, the cause of the problem is that there is a problem with the startup guide of grub. The specific modification is as follows:

1. Go to Fedora and open the terminal.
2. Input su
3. Enter your own password
4. Input vi/etc/grub. conf
5. Place
Title other
Rootnoverify (hd0, 9) # here may be different, not necessarily 9
Chainloader + 1
Change
Title other
Title Windows XP
Rootnoverify (hd0, 0)
Chainloader + 1

I learned another trick.
