Does the disk show up in the BIOS?
It's possible you've dislodged a cable: either the power or the IDE
cable at either end
What files shown when you Dir C:\?

>I recently had a problem with my power supply. I replaced the old 250 watt power supply with a new 450 watt. After replacing I tried to boot up my computer and received a message: Disk boot failure,insert system disk and press enter. Also there was something about ATAPI, I can't recall exactly what the message regarding that was. In any case I inserted the windows 98 start up disk and received a message stating there were no FAT or FAT32 partitions. One of the reccommendations was run fdisk. I tried to do just that and received the message No fixed disks present. I ran the DIR C:\ at the DOS prompt and I do have 15 files present. I am running windows ME. I would appreciate advice on what to do.
