Corrupt Hard drive

I really don;t know who to turn to. Basically I was playing fifa10 online but because of some chump who hates losing decided to quit the game towards the end (ranked match) which froze my computer, I waited for about 10mins to see if this would do anything (which it didn't) so I had to switch it off via the back once I switched it on it said corrupt hard drive hit ok to restore which I did it went through fully but then went back to the same page saying corrupt hard drive hit ok to restore and ends up being a vicious circle. Is the anything I can do? Please help.
Thank you

PS3 Recovery Menu

 

 

  1. Place the PS3 in standby mode 
  2. Press and hold the power button for a couple of seconds, you should hear a beep
  3. Keep a hold of the power button for a couple more seconds, the PS3 should shut back down to standby mode
  4. Once this happens, press and hold the power button again for a couple of seconds, waiting for 1 single beep.
  5. Ignore this beep and keep it pressed until you hear 2 consecutive beeps, release the button.

Option 3 should work.
