How can I fix my computer when I get the blue screen of death and my boot record is not found?

I have had many problems with this computer, many times I get the blue screen of death. Just recently I was checking other hard drives with this computer (using the other HDD as a slave drive) but the last one I hooked up gave me the error "searching for boot record from floppy...

not found". "searching for boot record from IDE-O..ok

error loading operating system

I don't know what to do from this point, please help me!

Thank You,

Brian
