i have the same thing wrong with mine to, i look up the internet till i came across a boot disc that when u leave it in your system from boot it starts up perfict just look up ntldr on the net and u will find it its manely the c:/boot.ini file thats causing the problem dont no how to fix this file but the disc works like a dream its happened to me a couple of times and the disc always works, it happen because of you removing some file.

YES , NTDLR IS MISSING IT WON'T ALLOW ME TO DO ANYTHING

Well, you may have forgot to pop a floppy disc out, and the 3.5 drive is first in boot sequence, hence no NTDLR.

to fix it:
you should boot up with windows xp pro

go to repair windows then go recovery console from cd rom
now you are in dos mode:
if your cd rom drive is d: and your hard disk is c:

just type this:
******************************
c:\copy d:\i386\ntldr c:\
c:\copy d:\i386\ntdetect.com c:\

******************************
after copy is done...remove cd and reboot computer
your pc will restart and everything should work fine

now if you don't have win xp pro..go to a friend who has it installed on his computer
try to find the file ntldr on their drive c:
it always exists under i386 but don't know exactly where...unhide all files and look for it
then put on a floppy disk..go to recover console
and copy from a:\ the ntldr file
