Before we try replacing the HD lets see what the system is doing now. When you plug it in and start it do you hear a Bong as well as see an image on the screen? You should see a folder icon with a blinking question mark.

If you do they we're better than 1/2 way there! If not, this may not be a repairable system as there is something more going on here.

The next issue is the replacement drive. I would recommend getting a SSHD hybrid drive [http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/solid-state-hybrid/desktop-solid-state-hybrid-drive|Seagate 3.5" Desktop SSHD] I would stick with the 1 TG drive as I doubt you'll need more than that. Just keep in mind the systems SATA port is only SATA II (3.0 Gb's). You'll need to make sure what ever drive you do use is able to run at this SATA speed. If we look at the Seagate spec sheet: [http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/barracuda-fam/desktop-sshd/en-us/docs/desktop-sshd-data-sheet-ds1788-2-1308us.pdf|Seagate Desktop SSHD spec sheet]. We can see this series of drives are able to support all three SATA specs SATA I (1.5 Gb/s), SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) & SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) - ''SATA Transfer Rates Supported (Gb/s)''.
