Looks like a problem with your hard drive (40GB? That’s OLD). I’d guess that the drive failed, and you’ll have to replace it. Either get help from someone who knows how to replace the drive and install Windows (you’ll have to buy an installation disk from HP – they’re about $25) or bring the computer to a repair shop. (The computer is probably worth about $50, and that’s what a new drive will cost. You might want to consider buying a new computer. But stay away from HP this time – they deleted “quality” from their vocabulary about 5 years ago.)
