Have you tried starting the MBP from a DVD? Or a USB drive?
Just a thought!
If you have access to another Mac, you could try removing the internal drive from the MBP and putting it into an enclosure too see if it mounts on the other Mac. OWC has good videos on how to install HDs, etc. Check them out and see if you think you can follow the procedure to remove the drive.

kahjot has a good suggestion or you can try Target Disk Mode:
