Dear friend,
It seems that, some loose connection with the belt cable which connects the Hard disk to Mother board.
1st Switch off the system and check the cables of all components carefully.(Hard Disk,CD ROM/writer,Floppy /Disk,and Mother Board Connections)
Check the RAM. Some times it maybe cause to the problem.
Disconnect all the said connections and again connect them.
If you feel connections are ok, and again the same problem is comming restart the system and press delete button and enter in to the Bioas.
select Hard Disk as first boot divice and press Enter and F10 and 'Y' to save the changes.
Read the instructions carefully.
Restart again.
if Still the problem is comming insert the XP boot cd and go for upgrade the OS.

yathish..........

hi,

The same problem occured to me- the problem because of bad secors in the hard disk - if the bad sector is started in the beginning of the hard disk this problem may occur- please remove the bad sector
