Operative system not found

Hi all,
I have win95 installed on my PC. It has been working fine. Today when I reboot the machine efter some initialization I got the message "Operative system not found". Why I get this message, what has happened to my machine? What I remember is that I did clean the place near the computer which might have caused that some cable gets loose, may this cause the error I get? or there is something else I have to check. Please help me in this regard. regards /rsasalm

No, fdisk /mbr just restores the master boot record. The rest of the drive is untouched.
