Knowing what version of windows you have might help. Windows XP and 2000
allow you to re-run setup from the Windows install CD and try to repair the
installation.

This is a tough one to solve through email, especially if you're not an
expert computer user. You may want to either re-install Windows or take
your system to a repair shop or a friend that knows computers.

It could be looking at the wrong drive during bootup.
It could be looking at the wrong partition on the right drive during bootup.
It could be looking at the wrong partition on the wrong drive during bootup.
It could be looking at the right partition on the wrong drive during bootup.
Hard Drive could have died.
The Hard Drive Controller could have died.
The Boot Sector could be corrupted
The Partition could be corrupted
The wrong partition could be set to "Active"
The whole drive could be corrupted

If this is a stand alone drive (meaning not a RAID Drive) then it could be
placed in another functioning machine as a Slave Drive and see if it is
readable. If it looks intact then you could backup the contents first then
run Chkdsk on the drive in this temporary machine, then put it back in the
original machine and see what happens.


If it is a RAID drive you could "image" it with Ghost to backup the data,
use Ghost Explorer to gather the data from the Image. Re-build the machine,
then add the data back again.

Make sure you didn't leave a diskette in the floppy drive.
