First run a chkdsk /r on all your HD drive-letters. When that is done check if the problem persists. If yes run sfc /scannow from a cmd prompt. You will probably need the XP installation CD while doing that, as it'll need the original files to replace any bad files with. After that, if the installation CD wasn't at SP3 level yet, install SP3, and then run all your windows updates.
