But really, check the boot order and the drive listing in the BIOS before you fiddle with any system repair stuff. Or ask someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you.
EDIT: oh, and before we get into any more elaborate discussion about boot order and disk failures here: make sure the drive is in place and plugged in as it should be, and didn't just get disconnected or something.
