I think the hdd has gone kaput. First check whether the hdd is properly detected by System BIOS. If it is then it can be a case of partition loss only, otherwise dude, you're out of luck, prepare to purchase a new one. If its partition loss, try various tools that are available both for free and the paid ones. I once lost my partitions while installing linux, i used the Ultimate Boot CD, it contains a utility called testtool which is a text ui based one, but works very nicely. Try and post here the results.

And yes do check the data and power cables of hdd also.

What OS do you have? How many OS do you have? Are you sure your hard disk has no problems? If the answer to the last question is "yes", then, if you have vista, try this: Yet another unsolvable bugging GRUB problem! :(

If you have XP, use the bootcfg command to fix your boot.ini entries.

However, since you say, you couldnt access C drive from recovery console, I am afraid, there are issues with your hardisk.

Clarify as to what happens.. There will be better suggestions if you could explain better after trying these i guess.
