I dont know why since its always been fine before and I havent done any changes to the system.
I've checked in bios and my hard drive is listed where its always been.

If the connectors are secure, and the BIOS is seeing the hard drive, could be the boot sector is corrupted. I've never had to use it myself, but I would think XP repair should be able to fix it if this is the problem (as suggested by Bifta) - assuming a) you can boot from CD. and b) you have an XP CD (I understand some systems come with XP pre-installed but no CD - not much use if you can't access the hard drive).
