when you loose that file it is the classic warning that your hard drive is going bad. You can go ahead and install windows xp again, be sure to do a complete format. If it happens again replace the hard drive or if if windows won't install because it can not copy a file, just replace it now

If the XP disc is OEM branded from the manufacturer, you won't be able to use it on another system without using illegal methods. Besides, XP really has much higher system requirements than it says it does, meaning at least 512MB ram for smooth performance and a processor from the last 3-4 years.
