Means it ca't find the NT Loader file. Do you have a floppy disk in the
drive?

[Harry Ohrn]

To replace damaged ntldr and ntdetect.com you can copy fresh files from the
XP CD using the COPY command. Boot with the XP CD and enter the Recovery
Console (see here http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm "How To
Access The Recovery Console)

At the Command Prompt type the following (where "X" is your CD-Rom drive
letter) allowing the files to overwrite the old files
COPY X:\i386\NTLDR C:
COPY X:\i386\NTDETECT.COM C:

To quit the Recovery Console type EXIT at the command prompt.
