    Help! I went to boot up my SuSE 8.2 system this evening and the
    process stopped with a table listing the PCI devices followed by:

    NTLDR is missing
    Press any key to continue

    This is an 1.4 Mhz Athlon with 750 mb of RAM and two RAID 1 (mirror)
    arrays on a 3Ware Escalade controller.

    /, /boot, & /opt are on separate partitions on the first array and
    /home is by itself on the second array (along with swap). All the
    partitions are Reiser FS Grub is the boot loader installed.

    During the boot process both RAID arrays are recognized and when I
    boot the rescue system I can mount any of the partitions without problem.

    The system has operated without a major problem since I first set it
    up when 8.2 was released, and that was a fresh install. No other OS
    has ever been on it so this error message is especially unnerving as
    it appears from my research it's a MS error message.

    Can anybody offer any suggestions as to what I need to do to fix the
    problem. (I'm going to do a clean install of 9.0, but it won't arrive
    until next week.)
