that generally means you need to reinstall. Get a clean cd and boot from it and install windows and you are done. :)
 
If your DVD is scratched and is genuine, just download and burn a Vista Business DVD / ask your vendor for a new DVD. Else, there are always ahem sources for download :P

Use the fresh DVD for installation. Your older DVD seems to be past its shelf life.
 
dude ntldr can be copied from the windows installation cd and you dont have to reinstal windows

seee here http://www.bestpricecomputers.ltd.uk/freehelp/ntldr_missing.htm

Using the Recovery Console, copy the Ntldr file from the Windows XP CD-ROM to the root directory of the current active partition. Follow these steps:

1. Start your computer by using the Windows XP Setup floppy disks or by using the Windows XP CD-ROM.

2. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press F10, or press R to repair.

3. Press C to start the Recovery Console.

4. Copy the Ntldr file from the Windows XP CD-ROM to the root of your system partition by using the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command:

1. Type cd .. to go to the root of drive C. (Note the space)

2. Type the letter of the CD-ROM drive

3. Type cd i386 to change into the right directory

4. Type Copy ntldr c:

5. Type Exit

If the partition was not formatted by using Windows, you might also need to run the Recovery Console fixboot command to make the active partition bootable.

After you can boot into Windows, it is recommended that you use the Windows Disk Management snap-in tool to reset the original system partition as the active partition, and then restart the computer.
 
^^+1....use the recovery console and copy the needed file. You may also need to write a new boot sector

in recovery console type in fixboot C:
