Your HDD is probably failing read. If so, you probably wont be able to get it to boot to Windows as it can't read the boot.ini file anymore.

You need to take it to a pro and have them see if they can recover data then replace the HDD and reinstall Windows.

Thats pretty much the only way to go in this case.

Buy a new hdd as soon as possible and load the OS on it.
Transfer your data from the old drive.

Back up your data ASAP. To check the drive download from the manufacturer of your hard drive web site their hard drive diagnostic software. You will probably need to run this software if you were to RMA the drive anyway.

I don't care about the data.

So, 100% is I need a new HDD with a OS?
