This sounds like it's highly possible the hard drive has died.
Try this: Start with the computer turned off. Turn the computer on and tap the F9 key over and over.
This should bring up a "factory restore" menu that has instructions on it that tell how to reformat the hard drive and reinstall Windows. It doesn't need a separate disc because the files are stored in a hidden section of the hard drive.
If that doesn't work, then it's probable the hard drive is dead, and will have to be checked out and replaced.
@jonn Yeah, pointless.
can you restore you computer back to a certain day? it might help & it doesnt require a disc
