It certainly could be the hard drive, but it is not necessarily. The question mark means the system simply cannot find a start up system. Do you have an internal or external CD drive? Start the system with a OS CD, and see if the hard drive mounts. You may just need to reinstall the Operating System. When I maintained many of those in a school district, they often forget how to use their operating systems, and I had to reinstall to totally fix them.
