Sounds like the hard drive may have failed. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least as large a capacity as the original to use HP Recovery Discs to reinstall Windows. For instance if you have a 320gb hdd you could use a 500gb but not a 250gb hdd.

 

Enter BIOS setup by tapping/holding the F10 key immediately after powering on the laptop.Use Diagnostics to test your hdd.

 

If you need more help please post back with full Model number and Product number as listed on the Service Tag attached to bottom of laptop.(may be under battery)
