The Problem: When there is an Ext. Drive attached to the system and I reboot / or cold boot the system I get the following message; NTLDR Missing Press CTRL ALT Delete to Restart. I follow said instruction and get the same message. If I unplug the Ext. Drive and then boot the system everything boots up normally and everything is fine and well when I plug the drive back in, but the message will re-appear each time the system is restarted / booted up.

As of right now I'm searching MS to see if there is a patch to fix this problem. Just curious though if anyone else has had this issue. It's a pain to constantly remember to unplug the drive when booting up.

Sounds like that ext. drive is trying to load Windows NT/2000/XP. NTLDR is the executable run to start Windows. There should be a way to remove the info from that drive, so it will ignore it, but I don't remember how.

You can change the boot order in your BIOS so it loads from the HDD before external drives. Watch the screen a startup. It should have instructions how to enter BOIS setup.
