Not good.
Check the bios and make sure the HD is the first drive in the boot order. If it keeps happening, you're probably in trouble! Try switching the drive to another machine if you can and see if it comes up. |

Your probably hosed but check your BIOS settings carefully. Especially to make sure that you have a hard drive there. Hopefully if it's gone there will be an AUTO selection.

Your first mistake was getting a Compaq...hehe...oh well, I have on too (inherited it when I got married - wife's computer). The wife manages to fuck this computer at least twice a year. The last time was the worst. I hate to restart it about 15 times before it would even recognize a boot disk. Then I reinstalled Windows and it worked fine. Then I spent weeks downloading and reinstalling all that damn bootleg software I had.
After that I bought a cd burner so a crash is no big deal...everything is backed up. ------------------ PigPorn TGP Big Penis Webmaster Program - Free Bannerless Hosting! |

Hope you backed up your files recently ...... That error BAD ........
You can try a few things but dont get your hopes up. Being a Compaq you didnt get a real CD with it when you bought it. Boot up off a disk or cd anything that works a give you a promt. From there you have a few options each one may or may not help you along. If you are networked to another PC you may be able to salvage your drive. If you can get to a promt try using only DOS commands at first starting windows will only cause further damage at this point. Dont run fdisk or format unless you are certain. |

YES!
I "proceeded" to check my sys bios F2 when a message came up in dos that flashed so fast I could barely read it but it basically said it was fixing itself. Then after the damn Compaq sign, instead of the boot error, ALL WAS OPERATIONAL!! I have no idea what the fuck just happened but thanks for all you help!!  |
