NTLDR is a hidden system file located in your C: directory. The file must have gotten corrupted through a virus or some other cause…
To fix this issue, you need to copy back NTLDR to drive C:. There are two methods of going about this:

  1. FLOPPY - Grab a diskette and copy the NTLDR file to it through a friends computer. The file is hidden and is located in drive C:. Once copied, insert the diskette in your computer and Windows should boot up normally. Once booted up, copy the file from the diskette to drive C:.

  2. WINDOWS XP DISC -

[ul]
[li]Insert the Windows XP bootable CD into the computer.[/li][li]When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.[/li][li]Once in the Windows XP setup menu press the “R” key to repair Windows.[/li][li]Log into your Windows installation by pressing the “1” key and pressing enter.[/li][li]You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.[/li][li]Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter, which in this case is “e.” This letter may be different on your computer.[/li]
copy e:\i386\ntldr c:
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:
[li]Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.[/li][/ul]
