Have you recently removed any spyware? If so see if this link helps:

Unfortunately that did not work, although I have recently removed spyware but
I used SpyBot

It doesn't really matter what program removed the spyware, just in how
it was done. But anyway sorry that did not help.

If you have a current backup then try running chkdsk /p from the
recovery console. If you don't have a current backup first slave the
drive in another XP or W2k computer and copy the important data.

If that doesn't work do a repair install:

Rock,
Unfortunately I have come to the same conclusion. I will try that today and
let you know how I make out. Thanks for your help!

Rock,
The repair install worked. Thanks again for your help. I still am not
completely sure what caused the problem, but at least I am back up and
running.
Thanks again!

Hello, Rock.
Found your helpful note here. I have the exact same problem as the Annonymous guy did, and whom you helped. However, I do not have an XP CD with me. How could I do? Please help. Thanks.

Jordan

Hey Jordan. If your PC has a recovery partition, boot into that, and it will restore windows. If you don't want to lose your data, you'll want to get your hands on an XP disc to do the repair install.

If you need further assistance, start your own thread. You're not going to get much of a response on a 5 year old thread.
