Would you have an emergency boot disk or CD?  What should the operating
system be...  Windows 98 or XP?  With an emergency boot disk or CD you
should determine if there are still files there on your hard drive, then you
can determine if you need to reinstall your operating system.  With your
disk or CD you could check if you suffered a virus infection and repair the
damage.  Depending on the operating system, you could be missing an
important file, please give us more information, we can tell you how to
proceed from here to fix this problem.
