I did a little bit of reading and it seems like many people who have this error are still able to use the drive later, it looks like bad sectors appear on the drive (yours appears to have developed in the MBR). The first thing to do is to install a liveCD of a linux distro like Vipershark has already said, if you can see the drive you can grab your stuff before you do anything to try fix your problem.
There seems to be a couple of solutions which worked. The first of which is going in to the BIOS settings and turning off S.M.A.R.T support, it appears (if you have a solid state drive, at least) SMART isn't very good at running tests on these drives and will throw up an error.
You may also need to change the SATA settings to compatibility and reboot.
Failing that there's new firware which might help located: Here
If it does work shoot me a PM and I'll see about helping you restore your MBR to boot in to windows.
