There is what we call boot sector, where boot files are stored. Once your notebook or computer is done with POST (Power On Self Test) it goes directly to the boot files in the hard drive. If these boot files are not available an error will prompt saying:
(black screen Character based interface)
Sector not found reading drive c:
Abort, Ignore, Fail?
if you are an advance user you might restore your installed programs through the RESTORATION CD provided when purchased and BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA!.
if you are an average user, i am sorry to say to seek for help (manufacturer of your notebook) to recover you programs but certainly face the fact that your data will be lost.
If you need help going through this, you can sendan email to digital_cow@hotmail.com

The sector not found error message indicates taht the heads are not able to read a particular sector in the platter. This is definitely a serious problem indicating a possible hard disk failure.
