At this point, I fear you are most likely looking
at a reformat and reinstall.
If you have data files that are not backed up, your
best option now is to look in the back of a computer
magazine for the "data recovery service" ads.
Such companies do not come cheap, but with your
disk in the state you describe they are the best way
to recover what can be recovered. Attempts at
do-it-yourself recovery now are at least as likely
to make matters worse as to recover your data.
And once you do have whatever can be recovered,
please start doing regular backups. At a bare minimum,
you should burn your document files to CDR.
My old home box died in September after five years
of faithful service; since it was obsolescent and I
had backups, I simply bought a new PC and that
was that; without backups I would have been in
big trouble.
