Before we get in too deep; first thing to look for - check and be sure there is not a floppy in the A: Drive drive.
no luck?
-restart the computer tap the F8 key until you are prompted with choices for booting up. Choose Last Known Good Configuration, press Enter.
If still a no go; boot to the cd and choose the "Recovery" option.

it just happens that some vibrations make the connections loose after time good luck
