A friend suggested that I use a Linux boot cd to help diagnose the problem. I booted from the cd and found that the problem seems to be with the hard disk. (The rest of the hardware seems to be okay). Ubuntu could not mount the disk - it said that Windows was not shut down properly...

My friend suggested I get a new hard disk, connect the original one as a slave and I may be able to access the information... I guess we'll see...
