That's probably the first dll that windows tries to find on bootup, and 
basically means it couldn't even find the correct windows partition. Assuming 
this is not a new install of the gplpv drivers, and that you have previously
booted correctly with them on, there is another possibility.

When it happened to me, it was because my boot.ini file got altered. Instead 
of something like 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)' in the various lines, 
it had the wrong partition number. Double check it. With the vps shutdown, try 
mounting the partition (losetup + kpartx + mount for a file: backed vbd, or 
simply kpartx + mount for a phy: device, like an lvm partition), and correct 
it if necessary.

Good luck.
