When I boot off the XP CD, and select recovery, it says "please install a hard drive", so I assume that the hard drive is fried? I guess that means I need a new one.

I > don't have a floppy drive... Also, when does it prompt me to hit F6? What is the make and model number of your computer? Can you pull the drive out and mount it in another computer? When you boot with the Windows XP CD pay close attention to the prompts at the bottom of the screen, you will see the prompt informing you to press F6 to load Mass Storage Device drivers.
