Big problems with HDD

[josephe]

Hello!
The problem is that I heve reinstalled the OS on my computer and it worked perfectly.I just have finished the installation(i have installed all the drivers,nero,programs)and the windows update has started.I jumped to the kichen for 10 minutes but when I came back the computer has restarted his self and I had the message PLEASE INSERT BOOT DISK AND CONTINUE.When I put the boot disk again and I want to reinstall the OS again I get the message that cannot access to HDD.I`w got 2 particions C: and D:,but when I try to access in DOS I can access to the drive D:,but when I try to access to drive C:I got the message wrong sytem label or wrong disk.

Yes!
I got a DVD drive wich is on master,and the HDD wich is on slave.They are on one IDE cable.The DVD drive is on the end of the IDE cable(master)the HDD is in the middle(Slave)

I also had the IDE CHANNEL NO 80 CONDUCTOR CABLE CONNECTED error message as well,but I had fix this problem,I had changed the IDE cable from 40 wire on 80.But my PC normally had found the HDD,but when I try to install the OS I get the message that Cannot Access to HDD.When I try across DOS,I can access on drive D: but the C: does not exists.
