It sounds like the hard disk has failed and your Sky box will need to be replaced.  It's unlikely Sky will be able to provide a replacement Sky+ box as it's an end of life product, but you'll be able to find a used replacement on eBay etc. Look for a DRX890 or DRX895 model.

 

Or now might be the time to switch to Sky Q? I'm sure Sky would offer you a good deal.
