Last time I had that, the boot order for my hard drives reset in the bios, so I just went in and changed it back to booting off the windows drive first, and it worked.

Yea, I don't know why that happens, but it has happened to me like three times over the last couple years. First time it happened, it scared the shit out of me, hehe.
