Shaffir,

It sounds like your PC has lost the boot block - all I can suggest really is a system reinstall.

If your using XP, put in your install disk. go to recovery console and do

c:\FIXMBR

that will repair the Master Boot Record without you needing to reinstall

Repair install may benessecary

The machine won't boot?
The machine won't boot from CD?

Can you be more exact in your explanation of what is happening?
