Default Hard Drive Crash
It is possible that data can be retrieved from your failed drive if the problem is that only the boot sector is corrupted. Installing that drive in a USB caddy and connecting it to another working computer might work. We do this frequently

Windows 8 desktop is indeed quite different but you can easily make the desktop look like a windows Vista or Windows 7 computer. Installing the Classic Shell which is free, gives you this ability. This software makes the transition to Windows 8 much easier.

Here is the link Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements
