It's looking for NTLDR which is a hidden file on your boot partition
(dir/ah). You should also see hiddent files NTDETECT.COM, BOOT.INI,
BOOTSECT.DOS. I have no idea what has caused your problem. I
don't think the file system is relevant. My C: is 200 Mb FAT and my
NT4-SP3 is on D: (2 Gb NTFS).
Perhaps you need to resort to your Emergency Repair Disk?
