boot in safe mode
Get into the bios and make sure it's trying to boot from the right drive.
Then install Gentoo, Debian, Arch, Windows 7, literally anything else.

I literally don't know the first thing about computers
Pretend you're talking to a woman
Set the boot order to CD/USB before hard drive
Get a linux distro, any one you want
Insert, let it boot, install

I don't think you understand my sheer stupidity;
Don't tell me where to walk, tell me how to move the muscles in my legs to make me walk to where I want to walk

Take it to the Geek Squad and then get a new computer.But seriously, to get into the bios, there should be a screen when you first turn on the computer that says "press delete, escape, f3, f9" or whatever key to get into the bios. Spam that key when you turn on the computer. Find the boot order, make sure the right drive has priority, try to turn it on again.
Realistically, I think you're completely fucked. A mixture of your prior mistakes, ignorance, and Windows XP has probably totally fucked your computer. You should feel bad.

in all seriousness, your computer's hard drive is fried no matter what you do it won't fix it until you replace your hard drive.
