Partition table problem NTLDR missing
Hi,
Have a user who used partition wizard to remove space from 1 partition and had it to another. Now the PC will not boot gives message NTLDR missing. I booted in recovery console and tried fixboot and fixmbr to no avail. Only one drive and OS on the system. Can see all the files and tried copying new NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM still wont boot.
Now I booted with PTDD Super Fdisk to see if partition is active. Gives me partition table error. Gives me the option to go on a site to use partition table doctor. Prigram is not free so i am wondering is it really defective or is it a ploy for me to buy SW.
No error messages about partition table when trying to boot without this software. I have no more ideas on how to procede.. anybody got ideas, formatting and reinstalling Windows is not an option.
Thanks in advance

By repair to you mean recovery console or reinstall windows files?
