It sounds to me like you have two choices:

1 - move the Hard Drive to another PC and copy off your important data

or

2 - Install Windows into another Directory ("Parallel install"), then copy your important data to somewhere else.

Good Luck!

It is possible the hard drive has died. The drive manufacturer will have free diagnostic software, bootable from floppy (or CD if you have the appropriate software).
