You can:
Insert a new hard drive and start fresh after the reformat..
or
you can try to start the console without the hdd and you should get a black screen that says "the console cannot start. the appropriate system storage cannot be found"
turn off the console, reinstall the hdd and try to start the console again.
if that doesn't work, try pulling the power plug from the console while the console is starting up, to trigger restore file system
reinstall the power plug, power on your console and it should either be normal again or restore file system screen (or "this system was shut off incorrectly" screen) will come up.
if that doesn't work, try pulling the hdd out while the console is starting up. (although i don't really want to recommend something like this..)
turn off the console, reinstall the hdd and try to start the console again.
let us know how it goes.
