You have either a corrupt operating system of a bad hard drive, try F8 when booting up and choose last known good configuration and press enter, if it boots then your off if not turn off F8 again and choose safe mode, if it boots into windows do a system restore in accesories to an earlier date.
If still not booting you will need a windows cd to repair the system, and if it cannot find the drive you then know it's a hard drive problem.
This will be either an operating system glitch of a failed hard drive. Start by doing a system repair with your recovery or operating system disc. If the repair doesn't take, then reformat the hard drive and install a new operating system. If the hard drive will not format, or you have any issues during or after the install, then the hard drive has failed and will need replaced.
