I'd do what feather said...... electricity spikes can do strange things in the bios.... check your bootsequence and double check to see that your OS HD is IN the boot sequence.... I've got the exact same error on my comp a few times and checking the HD boot sequence in the bios shows a missing HD.

Re: Computer Problem.....Need Help!!

if you have a legit CD image, you can open the cue file with Nero or Easy CD Creator and burn to cd

one good practice is to have a disk that has your os and another that holds your data... it lessens the pain associated with these types of issues...
