This is a hard drive failure error. You can try starting in safe mode (Hit F8 BEFORE the Windows screen appears on startup) to save your files to a different location IF your computer will start at all. BUT your hard drive needs to be replaces ASAP.

I use Boot Suite 2012 by Spotmau - costs a little bit but has other tools besides and allows you to ERASE current passwords to let you in and then establish new passwords. Go to bootsuite.com.

how much memory is currently in the computer? If less than 2GB, consider adding memory (RAM) to the 2G maximum which will help. Otherwise, you can only clean out unnecessary startup programs, make sure your hard drive is not too full (keep at least 5GB hard drive space frr) and defragment your hard regularly. Also, check for malware and adware - try malwarebytes (malwarebytes.org) to clean out malware that slows down systems. Use the FREE version.
