NTLDR means New Technology Loader, which is a component that Windows XP, Vista, 2000, and 7 have to load up before starting the computer, if you get a message like that the best thing to do is to repair your computer with the OS (Operating System) disk that came with it.

ntldr file is the main boot loader file for all releases of Windows NT operating system up to and including Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. .NTLDR (abbreviation of NT loader). NTLDR's first action is to read the Boot.ini file.[5] NTLDR allows the user to choose which operating system to boot from at the menu. For NT and NT-based operating systems, it also allows the user to pass preconfigured options to the kernel.

NTLDR is the bootloader used in NT-based versions prior to Windows Vista. Its purpose is to load the NT kernel in memory and pass it certain parameters.
