The HD has failed. This error is a corrupted Master Boot Record (MBR),
although it might also indicate a failed drive. Google: fixmbr for
details. You will need a boot floppy with command.com installed to
execute >fixmbr or an XP install CD. Using the install CD, select
Recovery Console, start your XP installation, and type: fixmbr.

Hopefully, the error state will be corrected. You can Google 'Loading
PBR for descriptor 2' for additional detailed help.
