the hard disk was working properly until i run MHDD on it then it got messed up now when i start up the machine all i get is:

" Non-system disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready"

when my machine boots it indicates it has seen it like..........37....blah (40GB) press F1 to continue.....then thats when it brings that error above.
