    Boot from your restore CD and do a system repair first. If that doesn't bring your computer back, you probably will be forced to a complete reinstall of Windows.

    Sounds like your HD may be damage or corrupt. If you can boot to a DOS prompt try running a simple chkdsk /r. This may not fix all yoru problems, but may lead you in the right driection as far as what to do next. If its damage you will need to replace the Hard Drive

    Also here's an article on the differnt options with chkdsk I would read this first.

    So you can't get it to boot at all? You may need to reinstall windows then.

    Insert your CD and try to boot from the CD and see if it lets you repair.

    That's not good, sounds like you need to reinstall Windows. Maybe you can do a repair installation?
