The boot disk does not see a hard disk drive installed in this machine.
Perhaps the drive or drive controller has failed, perhaps the connecting
cables have become dislodged, or the BIOS settings have become corrupted.
Hard disk drive diagnostics, available at the www site of the disk drive
manufacturer or possibly provided with your machine should help to pinpoint
the cause of the problem.

What exactly are you trying to do?  Assuming you have deleted a file and
need to try to retrieve it (if I have assumed wrong, post back), read
this:

You need to quit using the partition that the files were deleted from in
order to prevent the deleted files from being overwritten.  You will
need help trying to retrieve the files:

 RepoMan, $50, The demo version gives a fair indication of what
information can be recovered from your hard disk but data is not
recovered. http://www.diydatarecovery.nl/~tkuurstra/index.htm#irecover

 Recover4All, $49, demo will retrieve files up to 10 kb and show what
else can be retrieved.  Retrieved files are copied to another drive:
