Try booting up and keep pressing F8 key until you get a boot menu and choose system restore if there is such an option. What version of Windows were you running (XP/Win7, etc.)?
Do you know anyone else who has a computer who could connect your hard drive to theirs to see if it's really wiped clean? Maybe something's just wrong with the boot process?
Is your PC a store-bought system like a Dell or HP? Did it come with a restore disc? You can try to boot with that disc in drive.
What were you doing when you got the feeling it was wiped?
