hello, I have a dell inspiron N5010 and this morning i was using it fine, but then i shut lid, it went standby, and i went to town for a few hours. When i got back, i opened it, singed in, like normal. and went to play the video (file) was going to watch, and i pressed play and the screen was blinking and then it rebooted and i got a BLUESCREEN message, it said that windows shut down to prevent file loss, and i hit ok for reboot, then it turned on, and you know the black screen you always get when it checks the components on start-up? Well it kept getting stuck there. It was saying something about a BOOT DRIVE, like, INSERT BOOT MEDIA IN CORRECT DRIVE or something like that. i have made a system boot disk a long while ago, i have not tried it, I had dell data safe that i was going to do but the file size would have not fitted on the disk i wanted to use, so i thought, I’ll do it another time when my HDD size is smaller. (Meaning when I had less files to backup) but, I kept downloading stuff and, my HDD never got smaller. (Btw HDD size is 451 GB, last i saw it was 136 GB free of 451 GB) and it’s been the last month or two its been acting strange and slow, and etc... And it’s been worrying me. but right now I have plugged my HDD into a dell inspiron 530 xp sp3 desktop to check and make sure the files are there, but I doesn’t seem to be discovering my HDD.

Please help me! I can't stand not being abole to use my laptop!!!!!!!!
