no the bootmanager could simply be corrupt, put your windows install disc in a repair windows, that should fix it

Maybe I missed something, it sounds like the bios reset itself and activated (boot from ethernet). Did you go into bios and make sure boot from ethernet is disabled, make sure boot from hard drive is selected, select drive for boot, last if sata are you using sata controller in IDE mode which is the standard.
If this was the issue the worst you might see in NTLDR missing which is typical of boot data error.
hope this works for you.
