Make sure you haven't left any CD's /floppies/usb memory sticks etc in whilst booting the PC.

If it continues it could mean your hard disk has become corrupted. There is a small bit on teh HD that tells teh computer how to startup windows, if this is broken you will get this message. It is fixable as long as teh HD itself isn't broken.

Do you have any data (Pictures/documents) on the PC that you need to get off? If you do let me know, as long as the disk spins up there is a 90% chance I can get it off. Be wary of letting people re-install windows as you can lose everything if they aren't very careful.
