Even if the hard drive was bad you would still get to the beginning of windows installation. You have other issues if you don't get the install part of it to come up.
 
That's possible. Have you tried any other bootable cd's such as a memtest cd or anything like that?
 
Okay... I think I have the solution. I've had this happen to me a few times. First, do you have another desktop close to you?
