If you can't repair the problem and haven't recently backed up your data, back up immediately to another drive.

Apple uses standard disk sizes, and you can format your new disk by booting with the System CD, opening Disk Tools, clicking "Partition" if you want more than one partition on the drive, or clicking "Erase" to format a single partition. Hard disk failure is a common problem. Prepare for it with the expectation that your disk may fail at any time. Time Machine makes incremental backups to an attached external drive, and when you must replace the disk, you can copy everything back from your Time Machine backup, including your system settings and preferences.
Check your disk periodically with Disk Tools or a third-party utility to fix small problems and get early warnings of big ones.

I waited till the progress bar disappears, but it automatically shuts down after that. I tried to restart normally, but the same thing happened. I tried removing the battery and holding down the power button for 20 to 30 secs, but it did not work.

I am going to be serious when I say I have zero back-ground experience with Macintosh computers or their hardware.
But based on the errors I see that you posted above, it appears to me like you may have either a corroded contact on the hard drive or motherboard, that connects the drive to the motherboard.
