Need some help with a computer I just built. First time at this.

This is the first time I have ever built a computer. I bought and
installed a Biostar N4SLI-A9 motherboard with the AMD athlon 64 and the
Radeon 9250 256mb PCI video upgrade card. I have a Maxtor DiamondMax
SATA hard drive and 2- 512MB Memory cards. I also put in 1 cd drive and
1 cdrw and 1 3.5 floppy drive. After programing my bios I went to
restart the computer and it takes me to a screen with hardware monitor,
then after specs it says verifying DMI Pool Data.... next it tells me
NTLDR is missing press CTRL+Alt+Del to restart. Does anyone know what
"NTLDR" is that apparently is missing? what am I doing wrong? I
appreciate any input on this. Thank Ohhh Sooo Much!!!
