NT Fails to Boot..Error Given…HELP

I have an NT system that upon boot-up it comes up with ” NT failed to load due to winnt\system32\config\systemhardware profile\last know good menu cannot be found.” There is no ERD made for this pc, and booting up with the boot up disks or with the NT cd fails to work because it can’t find NT to repair. It only finds the cd-rom and that is it. Help!
