I have had this issue on a workstation, the only solution I found was to
run "format /mbr" from a Windows 98 bootdisk.  What this does is
completely wipe out the MBR.  Then when you try to boot, the BIOS should
realise there there isnt one assignt the correct drive letter (I believe
it defaults to C) and they it should find your ntldr and other boot
files.

I did it on my Directors machine.  I know there is a Q reference to
this, but I don't know what one.

Oh, and it worked like a charm.
