Did you try booting with the NT cd? Check in your bios so that the boot order has your cd as first boot drive. If you succeed in booting with cd, you will have option to delete partition & reformat it. After, the install should go smoothly. You should also install service pack 6a.

Try booting into VGA mode and removing the video drivers that you installed. If that doesn't work boot to the "last known good configuration"

If you lost your floppies, boot off any boot disk with CDROM support and put in your WinNT CD.
Type setup /?
(I think the switch you want is /x)
It will create the NT install floppies for you.
