Check connections and go to bios and see if it is there. I had the same thing happen and it was because the cd drive wasn't selected as a boot drive.

Try what Getback said.  When rebooting, get into your BIOS & CMOS and make sure the boot sequence is from you HDD.  Had it happen too and it was trying to boot from a floppy, which of course I didn't have.
