It is possible you have a virus which deletes all exe files and your Operating system has been rendered useless.

This does not necessarily mean you have a virus. It could be a hardware thing. Make sure there is no floppy in the disk drive if you have one ... Did you move the computer recently? If so, open the side and make sure the power and IDE / SATA ribbons are connected. Did you add any new Optical drives? If so, make sure the jumpers are set correctly for the master/slave or CS (cable select), I prefer to use the CS setting. If non of these are true, you can have a boot sector virus or something to that effect.
Hope I helped....

First check and see if you have a disk in the diskette drive, this will make your system try to boot from disk and can give you that error. . If not, make sure in the bios the system can see the hard drive. If so, the system may be to far gone.

it is possible that your primary partition has gone, to check this put a different hard drive in. install windows on this new drive. if you have Norton system works install that, it may be able to fix the prob without losing any of your data. if you don't want to go though that you will lose everything

Sounds like you need to install your operating system again.
Did you computer come with recovery disks? If so, use those, and use the "repair" function - hopefully you will not lose your data.
