Laptop, Windows, NTLDR and tears

So I sent my laptop into Toshiba because of a dead hard drive. So of course I got the laptop back with a blank hard drive. I tossed my recovery/Windows disk that came with the laptop. All was well and after a few menus it started a nice hour long count down. So I walked away and came back 10 or so minutes later to see how it was going and noticed a wonderful error. Strange, I didn't pay it any mind and hit ok and the laptop reset but instead of booting from the recovery disk again (as it is set to) I get a message that says "NTLDR is missing press ctrl alt del to restart". It went through the boot up of the disk again and this time brought up a horrible message in big text saying "WRONG MACHINE". So I tried again and now it won't boot from the disk at all and I just keep getting this NTLDR is missing message.
It took me a damn month and a half to get this back and now it doesn't even work, and of course I start classes tomorrow.

Oh, and: http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm - I can't remember if I've used it, but I think I have.
And I have to run up to school right now but it looks like that website is for machines that did have windows on it, I was in mid installation. I would really like to just wipe the damn partition and start over again but I can't get it to boot from the drive.
