If NTLDR is missing the fix in not with the OS but with the BIOS. If you replace the three files: boot.ini, NTDETECT.COM, and ntdlr and the boot.ini is correct then the fix is to reset the BIOS to safty defaults. A hard shut down can cause this problem. This fix is not published since I am the only one who figured it out. geez, I’m smart.

Just as a follow up this isn’t a prefect fix for everyone, in fact it probably won’t work for you unless the situation is identical to mine. Be warned most of the time this error is a sign of serious hardware failure. There is nothing more important then good backups. Hardware will fail, but if you have a good disaster recovery plan you can overcome just about any catastrophe.
