I'd guess you'll be fine and it's just a problem with the HD driver, maybe Disk first aid (prepare a special floppy with a minimal system and some utilities or force-boot from an external HD with command-shift-option-delete pressed) can provide a cure. Worst case: you loose the content of your HD if you have to re-initialize it. But I don't think your computer is shot (now that you have all that RAM!)
