Since you can boot windows try getting the appropriate diagnostics from 
the harddisk manufacturer and running them. If I remember correctly 
"disk error" when i get it is a lack of proper boot sector, read error 
is more likely a problem with the disk. If that is the case backup all 
the data and see if you can return the disk. On second thought depending 
  on how old the disk is you may want to do this before testing. But to 
know that you will need to run the diagnostics.

I am not sure whether to say i hope this is it or not. It would be nice 
if the disk weren't broken. ;)
