not safe mode but the BIOS, the most basic fucking level of operation on the machine, which you can view as the "setup screen". if you don't get that, you might have fucked up memory or motherboard, nothing to do with the drive or windows itself.
what im trying to suggest is a process of elimination that lets you spot the location of the fuckup. could be any number of things... even the graphics card.
do you know how to open up your box & get into the guts of the machine? do you have an antistatic wristband/mat? with that you could unplug everything & do a physical check... but if you don't know how, you could fuck it up even worse.
