Shit I Messed Up My Com Big Time

You wouldn't happen to mess around with the jumpers for the hard disk, would you? Because, if you changed the jumper for the BIOS to pick-up the HDD as a slave, you will have tons of problems. If you did, make sure you get it back to origional format.

When you go into the Bios does it recognise the disks?

wat do u mean by that.... im sorta confused...

Well a jumper is a piece of plastic that goes on the pins in the back of you hard drive to tell the BIOS to consider it to be a master or slave. If it is set for a slave, then your OS wouldn't be recognized and that can cause a lot of problems.

I suggest you go to google.com and type in the error. Usually this error is when floppy disks are in the A drive.

You can bypass the A drive in BIOS somehow. Follow the instructions from a site for you specific BIOS.
