Makes me think it was running XP. If your XP CD does not boot then check the boot order in the bios (sorry but as this is documented widely I will not tell how) then and if the XP CD does not boot try a new DVDRW drive (cheap at under 30 bucks vs. new machine!)
The hard disk may have failed but I don't think so since xp booted enough to spew that error.
