Problems with hard disks are indicated by 17XX errors.The computer more or less suggests booting from alternative diskette drive.Unless you have old parts to substitute for the repairs, I would disconnect the hard drive and boot from diskette for the time being until you find the parts( being drive, controller and cable).Check your bios settings to boot without the hard drive after disconnecting it.Your computer may be on its last mile.Good luck.
