I used to have something like this. The HD connection to the rest of the PC had somehow disappeared, so the guy I went with it to pushed in the cables connecting it, and it worked again. This is however a best case scenario. It might be a HD failure, and THAT is not good (cannot tell, because I have never had one myself like that, lol).

There is no greater virtue, then the ability to face oneself.

Check that you don't have anything else the machine may try to boot to, e.g. a CD in the drive, a USB memory stick plugged in, an external hard disk connected etc. I have come across a USB scanner in the past which prevented a machine from booting up because the motherboard thought it was a bootable USB device!
Basically unplug everything which is not essential and try again.
