Sound like your Hard Disk drive is not starting up. They are normaly easy to replace, but i would try removing it & putting it into a hdd caddy, there is 2 types, 1 is the old IDe connection & the other is the Sata connection the bigger of the 2 is the IDE and has 2 lines of pins the Sata is normaly a female connector on the drive.
If you can get hold of a caddy insert it & connect it to a freiends pc or laptop to see if it works, it saves buying a new hdd if its not faulty.
