不 is an adverb expressing negation, negating the existence of this state in the present time.
E.g. 我喜欢下雨，不喜欢下雪。 [phr] I like rainy weather but dislike when it is snowing.
In the sentence above, we cannot replace 不 with 没(mei2), because "to like" and "to dislike" are both verbs expressing mental activities. 不 can be used before such verbs, but not 没.

For more explanations and examples of the other adverb 不(bu4), please read my notes on the word.

不 (bù) is used to express negation in Chinese. For example, 他不喜欢吃蔬菜 (tā bù xǐhuan chī shūcài) means "He does not like to eat vegetables". It can also be used to express prohibition, as in 不准喝酒 (bù zhǔn hē jiǔ) which means "Drink alcohol is not permitted".
