If you cant get to the bios the HDD is not the issue.
Also, brands of HDD's dont matter, you can replace it with any hard drive out there. (As long as its the same interface ide/sata and similar dimensions.)
When you say it wont boot at all, do you mean into windows or do you mean it doesn't even POST? Do you hear a beep a few seconds after you turn the laptop on?
