Before you do anything with the hard drive (always the last resort!), check in the BIOS:
1) if you have network boot enabled (disable it)
2) if the hard drive is listed
If that doesn't help, you could still try booting from CD (Linux recommended ;) ) and see if you can still get into the drive (it might just be the MBR being damaged).
