I'm on a school computer now. Desperately seeking your help.

There were two power outages last night because of some snow we got in my area. My computer is plugged into an APC backup surge protector. Each outage lasted about a minute, which is all I think my backup was good for, so during the second one, the PC went out too. So I said screw it and I turned it all off.

This morning I go to turn the PC on, and during the bootup is says "Cannot load DOS! Anykey to retry". And if you hit a key it tries booting again and gives me the same error.

What do I do? I hope hope hope that something isn't fried, because I have about 30 pages worth of papers to write, 15 of which are due tomorrow!! This sucks!!
