Make sure you don't have a bad floppy disk inserted. I'd boot Knoppix and poke around to see what's up personally, but that's just me. Too tired to post a full explanation. Start with the Windows repair and go from there.

Thanks for the advice though! I'll keep it handy next time if it happens again.
Thankfully it seems it was just a minor hickup. I flashed the bios and unplugged my harddrive, then plugged it in again, and everything was fine. ^_^ I KNEW both of them couldn't have possibly died at the same time.
