Missing NTLDR after system update of Server 2003
After automatic system updated ran over night, I come in to find the message "NTLDR is missing press ctrl + alt + del to restart" I tried to do a repair installation of windows but same problem. I found the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320397
that says to request Bcupdate2.exe but I cannot find that file to download it. We are running a Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 installation.

According to the KB, you actually have to contact Microsoft to get it,
