I presume you have access to another machine Warb (love the new avatar BTW you should keep it).
If you do try and download and boot this.
Usually you have to hold down F12 to get the alternate boot option.
It will analyse your hard disk to see if it's broken, it will allow you to rescue some files and it will clear viruses if you have them.
Well worth a try.
If you can boot this you can also boot another operating system (either a windows boot disc or something better like linux.
Good luck.
