Fdisk should be on your emergency boot disk. don't have one, go here: www.bootdisk.com and make one.

According to his previous post, the message after running fdisk is "no fixed disks present" (makes a difference)

This usually means just what it says - fdisk can't find your hard drive - either it's broken, missing or incorrectly setup in CMOS.

Is the drive shown at the POST? How about in CMOS?
