I need help on my gateway

I just bought a gateway (black friday / best buy ) that cost me $1100 (after being tricked into being billed an extra 118 dollar for crap software I didn't want). After turning it on with everything plugged in, it worked fine. When I shut it down, and turn it back on again later in the day, a Media Test Failure error appears. When I plug in the ethernet cable into the computer and turn on the computer, I get a E53 no boot name file recieved error. Does this mean my hardrive died?
