You will see this message if A) there is a disk in the floppy drive or B) the NTLDR is missing or corrupt.

To create an NT boot disk do the following from a co-worker's NT box:

The Windows boot disk must include the Ntldr (or Setupldr.bin inWindows NT 3.5),Ntdetect.com, and Boot.ini files, and may require ntbootdd.sys which is the device driver for your hard disk controller renamed to ntbootdd.sys.

NOTE : The Ntldr, Ntdetect.com, and Boot.ini files typically have their file attributes set to system, hidden, or read-only. You do not need to reset these attributes for the bootable disk to work.
