Oh simple,
Either your harddrive is dead, disconnected, or not properly setup or detected in your bios. Make sure the harddrive power and IDE cables are tight and plugged in the right direction. Try getting into you bios (hit DEL when you start up the computer). Looks like the bios is really confused, trying some kind of network boot (pre-execution boot environment is PXE) since it can't find your harddrive. You need to change the boot order in your bios. When a computer turns on, it has a list of priorities of where to go to find your operating system to start the computer. It usually goes disk drives (removable) to harddisk to network boot to find out where windows is installed. If it's in the wrong order, or it can't find your physical harddrive, it might be trying to boot windows off the network which of course won't work unless your windows is coming from a remote server or something
