Are you still getting the same error when you try to start without the CD, eg 'system file missing or corrupt'? or does the BIOS fail to find the disk as well?
It could be the boot sector (MBR) or partition table has been corrupted. Either way it's not looking hopeful.
Can you get into the recovery console and login to to the windows installation?
