PowerEdge 1850 boot problem

I have a PE1850 that suffered a power outage while installing Windows Server 2003, it now will not read a CD, floppy or USB key and after booting displays the following message. Any help with fixing the problem is greatly appreciated.

NTDLR is missing

press any key to reboot

Thanks!

I'm sorry. I meant NTLDR is missing

At first glance, there are no glaring hardware problems, as it gets as far as attempting to boot the OS (NTLDR message).  By "will not read" ... what do you mean?  What exactly have you tried?  Have you checked the boot sequence in the BIOS to make sure that Hard Drive C: is not at the top of the list?
