Sorry for the bad news, but this sounds like a disk drive issue -- as that  would corrupt the file system preventing the Windows shell from running and providing you a graphical desktop.

If you CAN, to find out the problem, you would need to be able run hardware diagnostics by pressing the Esc key repeatedly and then, when the HP Startup Menu appears, select Diagnostics (usually F2) and let it run.

[edit]

if the diagnostics find problems, that indicates hardware failure and in general, there is nothing you can do as a consumer to fix that yourself.  If that happens, then report back and I'll provide you links where you can see about getting repair estimates from HP for fixing hardware failures.
