Hi There It sound to me your hard drive has failed or windows is corupt. Sounds like a system restore might get you back on track.
Put your System Restore discs in and try a restore.
If you have important files on you files on your laptop you will have to get back to me.

If the system is saying it cannot find a bootable disc, a system restore wont get anywhere, because it relies on windows booting to fix. It seems like you have a hard disk failure, in which case you will need a new hard drive.
