I have an acer aspire 8920g and I logged off,(but not shut down), when I tried to logon the screen went black with the mouse on the screen. After about 10 mins I forced shutdown and tried to restart, the command screen appeared saying that it cannot find the OS. There is also a beep emitted from the back of the computer. I have tried all the normal procedures, Boot, F2, F12, F10 with Alt etc. can any one help?

THanks I had already checked the BIOS but when I checked it again I noticed that one of HDD's, (the one withe the OS), was not being recognised, hence Hard Drive failure. Checked it in another computer.
