Unhappy Computer dying

SONY VAIO LAPTOP:
1GB RAM, 3MHz processor

Last night opened the deck to ifnd
"No operating system detected"

Restarted the computer in safe mode. ALL OK
Ran virus scan: Shut down during scan with above message

Restarted:
tried disk analyzer...unable to analyze due to corrupt file segments

Ran CHKDSK from DOS Prompt
Multiple unreadable file segments with some corrupt files "deleted"

restarted:
tried disk analyzer and defrag...unable to analyze due to corrupt file segments

Restarted:
Tried SYstem restore
"Unable to restore system to earlier time"

Restarted:
ADOBE Photoshop CS2 unable to start, CONTROL PANEL will not initialize, attempts to run MSCONFIG from DOS prompt resulted in shutdown with
"No operating system detected".

I have 30 GB of music and 28 of photos I really do not want to lose . Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Eagle
