System doesn't boot, disk problem?


Hi all, hope someone can help.
I'm having a problem with my desktop machine (dual Windows/Linux, both
installed on a single Maxtor 200GB disk): when I turn it on,
it never boots and it goes into the CMOS Setup Utility instead.
I still see the disk so I wonder if the disk is broken or there
is some other problem.

This is what I see within the CMOS Setup Utiliy:

Channel 0 Master [None]
Channel 0 Slave [Benq DVD]
Channel 1 Master [None]
Channel 1 Slave [None]
Channel 2 Master [Maxtor 6V200E0]
Channel 3 Master [None]
Channel 4 Master [None]
Channel 5 Master [None]

The IDE Channel 2 Master is as follows:

Extended IDE Drive [Auto]
Capacity 203 Gb
Cylinder 65535
Head 16
PreComp 0
Landing Zone 65534
Sector 255

Thanks a lot.
