Ok a few more things need to be tried.
Rest CMOS
If those didn't help then it's back to BIOS: EFI disk diags
- Option 1:
- Remove all power sources (AC and Battery) from the machine
- Press and HOLD the power button for 2 full minutes
- Attach AC power only
- Enter BIOS when you boot
- Reset to defaults
- exit Saving changes
- Post what happens
- Option 2:
- Remove all power sources (AC and Battery) from the machine
- See Service manual for removing CMOS (RTC) battery: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01988326.pdf
- Always follow safety guidelines in section 4
- After 2 hours replace same battery in machine
- Attach AC power only
- Enter BIOS when you boot
- Reset to defaults
- exit Saving changes
- Post what happens

Post what the advanced disk tests tell you. I don't expect them to be much different from the std diags, but it might tell you something more.
I think the next step is to surrender and buy a new drive. Contact HP and tell them you didn't create the Recovery media for the 1071 before the drive crashed - they're usually lenient in this case, but they might charge you for the Flash drive - make sure they understand that you don't have an optical drive.
You might consider getting an enclosure (~$15) for your old drive to see if you can recover any data.
I'm off 'till tomorrow.
