How about some system specs? Like, what drives (hard disk, optical) are in the machine? When you boot to a command line, what "disks" are shown?

What did you do most recently to the machine?

Buy a copy of Spinrite and run it. Spinrite has fixed many similarly "broken" hard drives. You should check out their customer feedback page. It mentions one where somebody had a BSOD on boot-up that Spinrite fixed.
