It won't go to the home screen. It shows a error.

Broken or wiped?

Wiped means you wrote zeros to it, and erased everything.

what do you want to do, recover date, or use it again

Get an installation disc of the Operative System of your likes and insert it. When booting press f12 (or whatever button you are told to) and choose CD Drive
