"boot sector of disk ... reading error path c and the other was partiton table (mbr) 
... reading error. " --- Your hard drive is (probably) dying.

If you want any data from that drive, back it up now. If you cannot back it up, I 
wouldn't use it until you can. Afterwards, you can try scandisk, but it sounds like 
the boot sector is worn.

If you just want to get a used drive to replace it, start another thread asking about 
free disk imaging software. Or just re-install windows and your apps.
