Do you have a recovery disc? I am not sure if you tried it, but if you havn't try booting from it since your system seems to be malfunctioning.
No, just the windows vista dvd. I'm upset.

Sounds like a dodgy hard drive to me.
If you have another machine, you could put the drive in as a slave and see if you can copy anything important off it, then try formatting it and reinstalling windows, as it could be the boot sector has become corrupted.
Though with the disk read error it would sound like it was the fault of the HDD that caused the corruption.
Could be a broken hard drive, drive controller or just a messed up disk from a dodgy shutdown.
First thing I would do is download the HDD testing tool specific for your disk from the manufacturers site or use the Utimate Boot CD.
Assuming that tells you the disk has no faults other than the MBR you can use fixMBR to .... well, fix the MBR and replace the boot manager.
You might want to piggyback the drive as a slave and back up anything you need (or boot off a linux distro and save to USB/CDR)
