pc wont boot up, running XP

[seretide]

my pc wouldnt turn off the other night so knocked it off at the power supply, turned it on today, and each time i start it, it either doesnt get to decive listings, or does and either says , "disc read error, press ctrl+alt+del to restart"

or now saying "NTLDR is missing , press ctrl+alt+del to restart"

any help appreciated as i have lots of stuff on my os drive i'd hope not to lose!
