Try booting into command prompt mode by pressing F8 immediately after the BIOS startup (you'll usually see a bunch of stuff regarding the hardware in the PC).
If you can do that, type in CHKDSK C: /R/V to scan your drive for errors and repair them.
If you can't do that, boot up using the Windows XP CD and go into "recovery" mode. In there, type CHKDSK C:/R/V
