Ok. I keep getting this error, but the thing is that I don't have a floppy attached to my computer. I tried going back in and rebooting with it searching for my HD, but to no avail. Now it says that OS cannot be found. Did my HD just take a huge dump?

Certainly possible, but with the floppy drive error I'd do a quick check of the BIOS settings ... reset to default, disable the floopy controller/drive, set the boot order ... then see if the drive is detected.

Erased for not actually reading the question =)
 
I will work on this tonight after work.....have to leave for work now. But thanks for the suggestions Dually.
 
Well now it is trying to start up in safe mode. But when it does that it goes to black screen with a bar that goes across the bottom. I am beginning to think that either the bios got messed up, the onbaord controller got messed, or my HD took the proverbial dump. Anymore thoughts on how to fix this?
