What is the exact error message? It could be that the hard drive has died.  More info  will determine that. Can you see the hard drive in the BIOS?  (Usually F10 at startup.)

If you have a computer with a CD burner, I would suggest downloading a Linux LiveCD and booting with that to see if the problem is Windows or the computer. I fear it will be the computer.
