The machine thinks it is a dual boot machine. The ntldr ( nt loader ) data file it 
is looking for is a dos copy of the master boot record ( also called bootsect.dos 
) that is stored in the root drive and is what winnt or win2k or winxp look for on 
boot up in a multi boot machine.  If in fact it is not a dual boot machine, and you 
have 95B or above  ( 98 included ) boot to the appropriate Start up disk for the 
OS and at the a:\ prompt type:
fdisk c: /mbr and hit enter. This will write the correct master boot record in the 
appropriate sectors of the hard drive. Remove the start up disk and reboot.
