Boot disk failure means your hard drive has problems and cannot start on its own.
A system disk is a disk with an operating system on it, like Windows or Linux. Most computers come with system disks (or backups).
Windows costs about $100 if you don't have a copy laying around.
If there is no information on your computer that is vital, you might consider just reformatting it and starting from scratch with a new Windows installation. Secondly, unless you recently put magnets near your computer, you might consider buying a new hard drive, as the one you have has issues.

Did you leave the floppy in the floppy drive?
System disks are at http://bootdisc.com and http://ubcd.com for the CD that boots computers.
I run the LiveCDrom that boots the computer, tests everything, and even includes 1900 games, programs, apps. suites, browsers, etc...

try using your installation disk to recover. If problem persist, you may have a bad harddrive and may need to get a new one.

see if there is a floppy in your floppy drive. if so, remove it.
If this doesn't help, it may be that your hard drive has quit being recognized. you may end up buying a new hard drive, and re-loading from scratch.
