RE: boot failed, 'searching for boot record'
Chack that your IDE cables aren't loose again. From what is shown, I guess that the hard disk isn't plugged in. Chack the IDE connection at the motherboard, and at the disk, and also chack that the disk has power.

If everything is definately plugged in properly, then it is possible that the disk is dead, or that the PSU isn't supplying power to the drive. Also check the condition of the data and power cables.

Hopefully for you, something is just loose, or the IDE cable has been damaged. Anything else will be bringing you a lot of grief(?).
