Boot Computer from Window 2000 Operating system CD.
When it will ask for New installation press enter the press F8 key to accept license then press Esc then Press r for repair.And follow the instruction.Try to use that CD which has installed of previous in this Hard Disk.
This will fix ur problem.No need to reinstall and format.
Your data will be sequre.
Thanks

take your hard drive to another machine and plug in an ide cable then make it it a slave then extract the data out of it as for the pc a P2 is really old try upgrading

It is a problem with your OS. Reinstall your operating system and everything will be OK. I too had that problem but it got solved after I reinstalled it.
