While turning on the PC, the system displays the message Diagnosing your PC followed by Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete. However the system does not start up afterward.
Is this a good question?

This likely indicates a damaged drive or corrupted SSD. Similarly, maybe windows or your BIOS/firmware got corrupted. Does this happen instantly? Or does it take a moment to try and load Windows first?

If is telling you it is trying to fix the drive, that is your answer. The BIOS is doing its job. Can the drive be fixed -- maybe.
But, it will have to be removed and fixed on another system. You may however be able to fix it booting up on a Linux USB.
The first thing you need to do is to copy off all your stuff if you can get access to it. If the system won't recognize it or see anything on it, then there isn't many options to recover your things.
A full format may fix the problem. Then you will have to reinstall the OS and all your programs. However, I wouldn't advise trusting that it won't fail again in the near future.
The easiest thing is to just replace it and start over. If it is an HDD, it would be a good time to upgrade to an SSD.
