Now when I start it up it says "NTLDR missing press ctrl-alt-del to restart"
what's this about? and how would i go about fixing it? It's a laptop also.

Try booting off the Windows CD and using the repair function?
yeah, I'll have to try that when I get out of work. That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure.
NTLDR is missing
Might help?
That's what you get for turning off your computers. >:(
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
The Windows recovery console is crap. I've managed to save maybe 5% of the NTLDR issues I've had with it, and that's out of a lot of issues given how much I mess about with operating systems. It'll probably be less painless for you to download a Linux live CD like Knoppix or any other distro that provides a live CD, use that to back up your data to a USB drive or second hard drive and format/reinstall from there.
Have you added any partitions or hard drives lately? That's usually what buggers up my installations.
If bort would tell us which drive (usually C) windows boots from, we can tell him what to type in the file, amirite?
If not I have no idea what I'm talking aboot.
I reformated and it's now working. I hate reinstalling things.
you didn't need to reformat... im a bit late but this should help if you encounter the error again on loading windows.
type "bootcfg /rebuild" in xp recovery menu and go along with the message prompts it fixes most of the xp boot errors including the one you had
WHY DOES NO-ONE LISTEN TO ME WHEN I POST USE THE WINDOWS CD REPAIR FUNCTION!?!???
'Cause it hardly ever works like it's meant to!
