Booting issues
 
Hello,

It's something like a HD problem. Don't you HD make some noice ?
You can try to boot with a live boot or rescue cd and look at the hd content.
Are you files still on the hd or is the hd damaged ?

If the system don't recognize the hd anymore (bios and os) you have a material problem.
If you are able to detect and access the disk's partitions, you have a chance to try reinstall the bootloader.

Live CD Distro didn't mount anything. I'll replace the hd. Thx for your help.

Man, I've been there before and it's not a comfortable place. I feel for you, REALLY!! Here's hoping you have some fairly recent Backups..
