Blank screen after update

Hi - the latest update restarted my computer today and since then I can only
get to the black screen which displays the message:

Windows cannot start because of a computer disk hardware configuration
problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk
hardware.

Can anybody help. I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilio Pro 2030 - this is very
frustrating.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I have had to re-install XP, but now I have to choose what one to use when I
log in...a real pain. How can I delete the old installation? Also, is there
anyway I can retrieve my data that was lost when I reinstalled? Thanks alot
Microsoft for the dodgy update!
