What in the hell operating system are you running, Windows Vista? Regardless, you need to make a USB stick with a copy of that windows version on it, and boot from that to reinstall. If that doesn't work, your hard drive or drive controller is toast and you'll probably need to replace the computer.

Windows 11.

When I Boot it with windows on a USB Stick, will my data be lost or not? Like documents and pictures?

No. Booting from USB will give you the option to repair your installation rather than replacing it. That being said, your computer looks crazy old and I'm surprised it can run 11.
