Were you able to get into the BIOS? Does the hard disk show up listed in the BIOS as a device?
I think so is their a separate tab for bios? On the main page their is a thing called bios revision but it's grey. Thier are 4 tabs in my setup: Main Advance Power Boot and Exit
In Main, you should see a screen that looks like this: Attachment 196954
1st Drive and/or 2nd Drive should have your hard disk listed. Do either have a device associated with them?
Ok so I have drives 1-4 they say none, and my bios is 5.13
Sounds like your hard disk failed... You may have to take it to a repair shop to see if they can get any important data off for you, or if it is still under warranty, send it to HP for repairs and a replacement drive. Ask HP if they can recover the data for you. I noticed your computer has been having problems with the drive since December.
Dang it warrentys up will we need to buy a new hard drive? and December of what year?
Yeah, you will need a new hard drive.
December, 2011. Two months ago. I do not know how long the problem has actually been around because your logs only go back to mid December, but the problem was definitely present at that time.
I should also warn that I am not 100% sure the hard drive has failed. It may be the connection to the motherboard that failed. Your problems started due to IDE reads failing, which could be a connection issue. That connection issue may have resulted in corruptions on the hard disk, and either the connection has now failed completely or the hard drive has.
Here are the errors from December 9-11, 2011:
Event 11, Disk
Event 57, NTFSCode:The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.
Event 51, DiskCode:The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur.
Event 11, atapiCode:An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.
Code:The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0.
Seems pretty likely it is the drive that failed and not the connection, but just wanted you to know that there is a small possibility it is connection related or motherboard related.

Also what do you think caused the hard drive to fail?
I notice that you have a few hard shut downs (manual shut downs where you held the power button down for 5-10 seconds to cause the computer to turn off). These can cause hard disk errors to accumulate and they can damage the disk.
