hello ,
 mine did the same last week...
I  borrowed a hard drive, putted it in bios as primary master, configured 
mine as secondary slave , and backed up my files from there.it was a boot 
sequence kindof virus i believe..
 I didn't really  care about some loss of quality for my audio works, so I 
did encode most of them to gain space, and time...then 
burned,format,reinstalled, unencode, and took a beer. 
depends on How your HD crashed, but this solution should be  a simple 
workaround...maybe to simple,dunno, but hope it can help...if it doez, send 
me the 80$ at : dbase789@... : )
don't jump  the window, unless your at first floor...above wouldn't be 
reasonnable...
