The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

NTLDR is missing - MS Server 2003 - Virtual

Asked by DannyIce in Microsoft Virtual Server, Microsoft Server

I have a Virtual Machine running on VMWARE. This virtual machine is an exchange 2003 server on server 2003 enterprise edition.

Suddendly one day on rebooting this machine it throws the following message at boot:
'NTLDR is Missing. Press ALT+CTRL+DEL to Restart'

This is very odd as nothing has happened to cause this. Having read other posts I have checked boot sequences. I have Removed CD Drive from the virtual Machine. This machine doesnt have a floppy drive attached. There is no CD in the drive at boot up and their is no USB stick that it could attempt to boot from.

What could possibly have cuased this? what steps should I now take to get this machine running again?
