I belive the first thing you should start to do is read mails that
are sent to you with explanations and possable solutions.
Last week i replyed to this cry for help and said you may not have
the partition set as bootable. Someone else said you may have
installed dos without installing the system files needed for booting.
If you cant find those mails i suggest you go to the archives and
read them. Your answers are there.
