Your hard disk may have failed. You can try to boot from a Linux CD. A successful Linux boot would support the theory of a failed hard disk.

Does you Dell netbook have hardware diagnostics if you press F11 (I think) when the Dell logo shows?
Yea, and when you do that it allow you to go into safe mood but the screen remains black and only shows a cursor
