Your hard drive has likely come unseated, your system software went bad, or you hard drive died. Try starting up with your system software disc.
My DCD Drive is broken unfortunately. I have an external dvd drive. but holding down C doesn't do anything when i start up...

i think only firwire drives work unffortinitly in ur case but i heard from somone on intels usb works?
Hmm...Is there a different command to boot from external DVD drive? The closest thing i found was command+shift+option+delete but that seems to imply internal or external Harddrives.
mm if u just hit option id sees the dvd and harddrive as like icons or w.e u want to call them

Translation: if you hold down the option button at startup instead of c, you might get a boot option menu.
From my experience, the cmd-shift-opt-del will bypass the internal drive, I got my USB external booted from that way.
