Nothing helps.
I tried troubleshooting guide from Dell, the indicator is for CD-Rom, Harddisk access.

So I believe you tried rebooting (both cold and warm start) but to no avail. Do you have a bootable CD? Perhaps an XP installation CD or linux or W2K installation CD? Try booting from that and see if you have screen.
As per your description above on hard drive noise... what do you exactly hear? I believe you did not confuse this with the sound of CDROM trying to read or initialize. Did you hear a crackling/clicking sound coming from the hard drive?
