Sounds like your hard drive, or the hardware that supports it, has died.
Could just be a loose cable, could be something worse. You need to identify
the manufacturer of your HD and get the appropriate utility to diagnose the
drive.

Put the drive in another Windows XP system, configured as a slave, and see
if you can view the contents of the drive that won't boot there - if you can
see files and access them... you should back up your important stuff.

Before going any farther... Does BIOS see the drive?
