I never had this I/O error in Windows XP until today but that was caused by a bad floppy disk. If you right-click My Computer, choose "manage" then click on "Disk management", you should get something like this if it's working :-

 

 

Might be worth running a recovery utility on it. PC file recovery has worked well for me:-

Hope you get it sorted.
