Yes it sounds typical of a failing hard drive.

Whay you can do is get another hard drive, and copy your present hard drive onto it.

You will be surprised that you can then use the factory re-install ok.

As you cannot get into your hard drive, at the moment, you will need to use another machine to copy the hard drive.

Cheap, and all you need is another hard drive, and this tool, and access to another laptop/pc via usb, putting partition wizard on that pc/laptop, and carefully choosing the hard drives (new one, and your present one (remove it from your laptop) e-mail back if you need more guidance.
