I have a XP Pro machine that is boot looping and believe it is hardware related

I have a custom built PC that has been running without issue for quite awhile.  Suddenly I'm getting an error saying that NTFS.sys is either missing or corrupt.  Naturally I pulled the data off the drive and then formatted and tried to reinstall the OS.  No go.  Next I ran the Western Digital short and long tests on the drive, they all came back clear.  I even replaced the ribbon cable on the IDE hard drive.  No dice.  Any ideas?
