NTLDR is missing I think a reformat is in order but you need to use boot disks first.you need 6 floppy disks cleanly formatted. download one of the following and save to computer.then open the file and insert 1st floppy disk(number the disks 1-6)press enter you will be promted for the next disk as so on.some floppy disks can be a little faulty.so when you are using the floppys to start your format if any show up as corrupt or damged you will have to swap the floppy and restart the making of boot disk.
