HP has a really good support site...start here http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

you can type in the model no. of your pc to see troubleshooting tips or just type in "black screen with blinking cursor" in the search box at top right hand side.

Make sure it is seeing the hard drive in the BIOS. If it is, then try reinstalling Windows.
