Insert your Windows XP installation disc... then boot your computer from the disc (change the settings from bios)... then open up recovery console... type these command...
copy e:\i386\ntldr c:\
copy e:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\
E:\ is your cdrom drive, if it is different, use your own drive letter. restart your computer. Everything should work now. If not, try to reset your bios settings, make sure your hard disk connection is ok and tight, and lastly, make sure your disc is not corrupted...

1.Insert and boot from your Windows XP CD.
2.At the first R=Repair option, press the R key
3.Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the installation of Windows you want to repair. Typically this will be #1
4.Enter in the administrator password when requested (if no pass then press enter).
5.Enter in the following commands (X: is replaced by the actual drive letter that is assigned to the CD ROM drive)
COPY X:\i386\NTLDR C\:
COPY X:\i386\NTDETECT.COM C:\
6.Take out the CD and type exit

Several things can be causing this.
Computer is booting from a non-bootable source.
Computer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS.
Corrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file.
Misconfiguration with the boot.ini file.
Attempting to upgrade from a Windows 95, 98, or ME computer that is using FAT32.
New hard disk drive being added.
Corrupt boot sector / master boot record.
Seriously corrupted version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Loose or Faulty IDE/EIDE hard disk drive cable.
In my experience, this has always been caused by a floppy disk left in the A:\ drive, but maybe you already checked for that.

NTLDR is NT loader, it is the boot loader for Windows. The only way to fix it is by reinstalling Windows, your boot loader has either been corrupted or deleted, or your hard drive is corrupt.

Boot from your OS distribution CD and go for the 'repair' option.

If you have the original os CD, you can boot to it and perform a Repair.
