Hard Drive problem

[kidthak]

I was on my PC last night and it froze so I shut it down and when I tried rebooting it, I got a error message that said "The hard drive can not be found"  I tried to troublshoot and I got this message, "A problem with the hard drive has been detected."  Then it would not start...  

I have a Gateway PC with Windows ME.  I don't know a ton about computers, but I can usually fix them.  This time, I have no clue what to do.

Any ideas?

Did you try a win ME floppy boot disk, or try changing BIOS settings to boot from CD rom and try to recover with Win ME disk.
