Your hard drive is failing and it looks like the boot sector can not be read anymore.
Option 1- Install a new hard drive and load OS. Then install old HDD as slave drive and transfer the files to the new drive.
Option 2- Pull out HDD. Reset jumper to slave and install as slave drive in another PC w/ CD burner. Copy (burn) your files to a CD.
