Couldn't find NTLDR
The NT loader, also known as NTLDR, is located in the root directory of the system partition on Windows NT-based operating systems. Typically, this is the C: drive, and the file is located at C:\NTLDR. It is responsible for booting the operating system by loading the Windows kernel and initializing the system during the startup process.
NTLDR, or NT Loader, is a critical component of Windows operating systems used for booting. If you're facing issues with NTLDR being locked or missing, you can unlock it by using a Windows installation or recovery disk. Boot from the disk, access the Command Prompt, and use commands like fixmbr and fixboot to repair the boot sector. Additionally, ensure your hard drive is configured correctly in BIOS and that the NTLDR file is present in the root directory of the system drive.
You mispelled it. It's ntldr. To anwer your question, it's found on the root of your system drive, which in most cases is your C: drive. The file is normally hidden from view. You will have to configure Windows Explorer to show you hidden files and folders.

NTLDR is short for NT loader- a program loaded from the hard drive boot sector that displays the Microsoft Windows NT startup menu and helps NT(Replaced DOS) load. So when it goes missing for some reason, your windows cannot load. You will have to fix, or replace it. A reinstall will do the trick but all files will be deleted. Use a bootable Windows CD to repair or access Promt. You can also boot Linux to try a manual fix.i386 contain all default drivers in XP and can be copied to correct location.C:\i386\ntldrC:\i386\ntdetect.com
On Windows NT-based operating systems such as Windows XP, NTLDR is the file that is launched by the boot sector and is what loads the NT kernel. It can become corrupt for a number of reasons. For instance, this could be a sign that your hard drive is about to fail. When a hard drive is about to crash, it will sometimes boot into Windows while other times it will complain about corrupt files. It could also become corrupt because of a virus, bumping the PC, or maybe a bad shutdown of the PC.
The Ntldr file reads and loads the boot menu in Windows XP. The file runs from the hard drive but can be run from portable storage devices.
If the NTLDR file is missing on every system restart, you can try booting from the Windows installation disk or a USB drive and use the repair options to fix the NTLDR file. Alternatively, you can try using a bootable recovery tool to repair the missing NTLDR file. If these options don't work, you may need to perform a clean installation of the operating system.
