Either your hard drive has died, the cable is bad, the motherboard connector is bad, power supply has failed, or a combination of all of the foregoing. Since you are getting the message before the operating system has loaded - and it can't load because the drive containing it is missing - this is hardware problem and has nothing to do with Windows. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot Standard caveat: Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts with known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).
