Re: PC won't boot up
The system is not finding a master boot disk.

The ACPI error message probably resulted from it trying to boot from the CD and not finding valid boot files on there.

First thing I would do is check the cable connections to the hard disk. Pull and re-connect the data and power cables. Also try listening to the hard disk or putting a finger on the top to try and tell if it is spinning up.
