Hard disk crashed... hope fully only the boot sector is damaged. Buy a new hard disk, reload the operating system and put back the damaged hard disk. Make sure BIOS boots from new hard disk. You might be able to retrieve the data from the old hard disk.
If you are lucky it could be a problem with the hard disk cable. Try taking out the hard disk cable and fixing it back a few times. If that works, then no need for new hard disk.
