After installin SP3, NTDLR not foun

Comment:
So I just downloaded sp3 for XP and installed it, and updated. And after restarting it says "NTDLR not found, press ctrl + alt + del to restart"
I don't have a window boot disc to restore this with. However, I do have the discs/burner to make a boot disc with. I found one on microsoft but it was for floppy and wanted like 6x discs. Is there any resources for boot discs or actions I can take to fix this?

do not know for sure if it will work, maybe others can comment, might want to try dell first. Is it me, or does anyone else believe that if you have no way to reinstall windows, that maybe updates are not a good idea?
