I have a laptop which I have been unable to boot. I get the following
message-NTLDR is missing, Press CTRL+ALT+ DEL TO RESTART. I get the same
message on trying to boot again. I had lost the original windows OS. So I
purchased a a new Restore DVD from the same manufacturer. My question is if I
try to run and install the restore DVD, am I going to loose all the data and
files which are there on the hard drive. I don't want to loose the data. Any
sugggestion is welcome.

Steve,

When you get this message it normally refers that you have lost the master
boot record or been infected by a virus which has taken some core system
files.

I would suggest booting with your restore CD as if you were setting up
windows again. If the system detects a previous install of Windows then you
will be home and dry, if not - start contemplating data recovery with a high
price!

Cheers
Paul.

We can't answer that, it depends on how the mfg designed the disk, you need
to contact them.
