Windows is trying to boot from the network so either the hard drive has failed or the cables are loose and you need to check both. Please post a new topic in our Hardware Forum if you need more help with this.

What about the bios AnnMarie? I have had crashes that set the bios to incorrect settings. Could the bios have set itself to boot from the network?

Well the BIOS tells your operating system how to boot but it's most likely that it's not recognising the hard drive because of the reasons I outlined.
