and Windows firewall.

Intel (R)  Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz
4GB RAM,  750 GB HD

WD BLACK SERIES WD2003FZEX 2TB 7200 
RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal 
Hard Drive

The issue involves the Dell 780. I smacked my knee against it 
and when I went to power it up it beeped like(5)times and out of
1,2,3,4 lights only 3,4 appear. 

So is my HD gone? or how do I resolve the problem?

Thoughts, suggestions?
