If the computer is posting, and then not loading windows. This definitely sounds like HDD failure. In which case, buying a new computer and putting the HDD into it to try to get data off it absolutely will not work.

You may want to get a cheap 2nd HDD, load a OS onto it, then take your original drive and put it into a external bay. Boot on the new drive and then try to access your old drive as a peripheral. Though this may be a long shot.

Did you just have a storm recently? Or did you HDD make any funny noises last time you used your computer prior to failure?
