this may sound a little like I'm being a smarty pants, I assure you I'm speaking from my personal experience when I say this......you ready?....OK, the last time I saw that, I had left a driver disk in the floppy drive. since the driver disk had a folder called windows on it, the PC thought that it had found the windows folder but didn't see the correct files. ntldr being one.
and for the sake of all the work you'll have to do I really hope that's all it is.
good luck.

Look at this thread, but at Step 4, choose R -- to repair using recovery console instead of set up windows now
You will be asked for a administrator password, if it is Windows XP Home, just hit enter (no password)
At the prompt, Type cd ..
(takes you to the root of drive C. Note that there is a space between the d and the two periods ).
Type the letter of the CD-ROM drive, followed by colon (probably d:)
Type
cd i386
Type
Copy ntldr c: .
Type Exit
Reboot. Does that dix it?

Jason,
I did double check that the drive was empty because my daughter has left a disks in before. That was not it. thanks thou.

Rats. Well, it was worth a shot.
I ran the whole repair process only to get the message again. Then I find that I had a driver disk in and that was causing the whole problem. Well, I think gerryf is on the right road here. you'll need to copy the file from the i386 folder. that should fix it.
good luck.

Sorry I am new at this site and do not know the lingo.
What is a "thread" or where do I get the steps? Sounds like it will work.
