What is the problem with my HD with Win 2k?

I am having a problem with one of the HDs on my server. I can usually boot it
up, but then at the login screen I get an error message saying UNKNOWN HARD
ERROR. The PC then either reboots itself or I get a black screen saying
PLEASE INSERT BOOT MEDIA.....

I am assuming it is a HD problem and I would like to install a new HD.
However, the software on that drive is very vital and I cannot afford to lose
any of it.

So, how can I copy all of those programs and settings to the new HD without
losing anything? And, please keep in mind that I cant even boot the PC into
windows half the time.

Thanks.
