CDBOOT: couldn't find NTLDR

is there any who can help or point me in the right direction?

See about getting a Windows 98 boot disk with CD-ROM support. Then try to change to the CD drive, change to the CD's I386 directory, and run "setup". If you are able to do this, you should be able to load the Windows XP setup from there. This will allow you to use the Recovery Console or to reinstall Windows.
