NTLDR is the the boot loader for many versions of Windows.
If it is missing or damaged, your not going to be able to boot in any fashion, including safe mode.
It might not be missing. The Boot.ini file might be missing or be missing the pointer to the file.
Start with this guide on how to recover the file or fix the boot.ini:

Having the Windows Cd will make it much easier.
If this is vista, (mabye win7 too not sure) try this link:

Worse case is you have to reinstall. If it comes to that, get a linux live cd, (such as Ubuntu) and use it to boot your computer. Then copy and back up your important files to a cd/dvd burner, usb drive or upload to the net someplace.
