The BIOS is independent from any OS, so booting from your hard drive, diskette or CD is in no way going to be terribly helpful - fwiw, disk I/O error probably means a bad diskette
You could reset the CMOS to default settings from the CMOS setup or from the motherboard jumper or by removing/replacing the battery. If it is a weak battery, try replacing.

I've also had this error when my keyboard became unplugged so you might try checking all connections.
