Windows 98 doesnt use NTLDR... You must have attempted to uppgrade or install a NT based OS.

try

To correct the problem, the user must boot the computer with a Windows 95 or 98 Startup diskette or another bootable diskette with sys.com on it. Then, at the "A:\>" prompt, type "sys c:" and press "enter." A "System Transferred" prompt should appear and then the user must reboot the computer without the diskette.

taken from *sbc.webopedia.com/TERM/N/NTLDR.html

or next option is clear your CMOS, either via the BIOS or by removing the battery. That should do it.

^^ Remove the CMOS battery from the Board for some time or use the Jumper on the mobo to clear the BIOS info !

I remember using Hiren Boot Disk for doin away with that error !!

Or reset configuration data from the BIOS. Press F2 or del or whatever when the PC boots up.
