Ok heres the problem. The computer is a Dell workstation 340, and it's running on Windows XP Pro. After an improper shut down, the computer was restarted, and it states the Cdrive is no longer recognized. I am not sure how to go about fixing this problem. The only thing I see starting it up is the black screen before windows starts up. Help!!!! Please. Thanks

not as of yet, cant get into system..

I would power down the machine and check all the onnectiond between the mother board and the C: drive to make sure they are not loose. When you boot up the work station can you get to the bios and check to see if the drive is recognized there?
