Stick the disk in there and see if you can reinstall. You'll know if the drive is bad pretty quickly. And if the drive is bad...let me know what make/model it is...I probably have one I can send to you if you want.

It could be a bad HD, but see if you can get Windows to start in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key during boot up. It might have an issue that can be fixed by restoring it to an earlier date.
