a partition or another hard drive ? If it was a partition , you may need to do a boot repair as Kees stated .

Either you did something unintended to your c:-drive or you booted onto your f:-drive. We don't know, you're the only one who could know.

Disconnect your (former) f:-drive, check the BIOS that it is set to boot from the c:-drive and see what happens. If necessary, get your Windows 7 install disk, boot from it and see if Startup Repair wll fix your issue.

(NT) You deleted the partition that had it. Get a repair disc.
