Sounds like you don't have it set to boot to the CD-ROM... Do that and see about posibly running window's repair option first...unless you don't mind loosing your data on your HD.

at this point i dont really care...i just want my computer back

got into the bios and poked around...everything look normal...now i got back in and there is no primary drive listed now..

it says:
built-in HDD= no drive
cd-rom= secondary ide(170h/irq15)

ok, that is what I figured. Either the HDD is dead, or there is some other problem that is not letting the lappy access it. That is why you get a System Disk #0 error, it lost the hard drive, and can't find the operating system.

Basically the only thing that you can do is to replace the hard drive
