the computer no longer boots and the recover console doesnt work either and the screen reads ntldr is missing i am using a different computer i was told that i need a recover disk what do you suggest do to repair this

[kahdah]

Do you have a recovery disk or a reinstallation disk?
Because at this point you will need it to fix the issue you are having if it can be fixed at all.

i have ordered a recover disc from compaq do you think the computer maybe permentaly damaged

[kahdah]

No just maybe the Windows Installation.

You might be able to try a system recovery but you would want to do a Non destructive system recovery.
You should be able to do it like this.

At the boot up screen you should hit F10 until you see a system recovery option.
Follow the prompts there.
This will keep all of your files intact and repair the system installation.
See if that works.

If you have any questions just ask.
