Ntldr is file which computer use during startup. If you dont have it, you cant start system. This is very important file, and if you didn't made discqete with boot up files you will not be able to start system. You may try to get that file from your friends computer. Go to command prompt in c. Type atrrib and press enter. Take down s,h ,r atrributes and copy to disquetes. If you can repair windows

Fun,
This happens every now and then, could be some bad sectors on your hard drive, memory corruption or just bad luck.
Your best bet would be to boot into the WinXP or Win2k disk like you would when you are going to reinstall windows. When it asks you if you want to install or repair, select repair to go into the recovery console.
It will ask you which installation you want to work on, generally it's the one labeled "1". Then it will ask you for an administrator password, usually it is just blank, so just hit enter.
From there you can run "Chkdsk" in the recovery console and it should solve the problem. Though it may only be a temporary fix if there are actual hardware issues.

Create a boot disk for starting your computer.
1.Format a floppy disk by using the Windows XP format utility.
2. Copy the Ntldr and the Ntdetect.com files from the I386 folder on the Windows XP Setup CD-ROM, Windows XP Setup floppy disk, or from a computer that is running the same version of Windows XP as the computer that you want to access with the boot floppy.
3. Create a Boot.ini file (or copy one from a computer that is running Windows XP), and then modify it to match the computer that you are trying to access. The following example works for a single-partition IDE drive with Windows XP installed in the \Windows folder, but the exact value in the [operating systems] section depends on the configuration of the Windows XP computer that you are trying to access: [boot loader]
timeout=30
Default= multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows="Windows XP"
If your computer boots from a SCSI hard drive, you may need to replace the multi(0) entry with scsi(0). If you are using scsi(x) in the Boot.ini file, copy the correct device driver for the SCSI controller in use on the computer to the root of the Setup disk, and then rename it Ntbootdd.sys. Change the disk(0) number to represent the SCSI-ID of the hard drive you want to boot to. If you are using multi(x) in the Boot.ini file, you do not need to do this.
4. Start your computer by using the floppy disk, and then log on to Windows XP.
