That is a big problem right there. The ntldr is one of the main files that loads the rest of the operating system.

 

 

 

This was probably done by a virus, unless somebody messed around in the Windows directory.

 

 

 

The best way to fix this is to get your Windows cd out and do a repair install.

Make sure you repair install and not a full install/format, or you will lose all of your data.

Doing a full repair install may not be necessary, try following the instructions here.

 

 

 

You should also run chkdsk (from the Recovery Console) and try booting Windows again before making any changes.

WOW! I just had this problem myself today. Go to http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm

 

and follow the instructions there. It shouldnt require a re installation of the OS in most situations. I used an external usb floppy drive and the floppy solution method mentioned on the site.
