The hard drive won't boot up, but the startup utility does. Is all lost?

If you can boot from the startup disk try running Disk Utilities to see if the drive can be repaired. Having a external drive plugged in to save your data wouldn't hurt either. If this doesn't work come back and we'll work on how to replace the drive.

No repair it would appear. I can reformat but lose everything in the deal. I've been told we might firewire the iMac to our MacBook and see if the MacBook recognizes the iMac as an external hard drive. Haven't tried that yet. Thanks for the response!
I would definitely try the firewire target disk mode. I've found that it always works, provided the computer will boot to the point of recognizing the command.

You sure you aren't trying to run Windows on it? :P

Good one. Recognize the "blue screen of death" as a MS term... but no.
