NTLDR not found after installing SP3

After installing SP3 on Win2k Server with SP2 on reboot I got this message: "NTLDR not found".
And nothing could be done: neither FIXBOOT nor FIXMBR from recovery console helped. Recovery from diskettes didn't fix the problem too.
The machine was a DC (domain controller). No specific applications. Only Win2K.
I tried again - reinstalled Win2k with SP2 and then SP3. after a few reboots I got the same message: "NTLDR not found". ;(

Please help, who knows what's the problem.
Thanx
