Unfortunately it's over my head. Upon booting it goes to a disk boot error and suggests booting from CD... So I tried to boot from the CD that came with it. Result: Setup did not find any hard disk installed in your computer... ...Setup cannot continue. Is there likely a simpler fix or is that hard drive likely done and we need to replace it or perhaps something else?
