It sounds like your disk drive has gone wrong.
Defrag pushes the disk drive hard and it may have been the last thing that the drive could cope with. I suggest you try to find a new disk drive... you may have to go second hand to get one that the BIOS can cope with in a 10 year old laptop.

It could be a hard disk drive error. Check the SMART status of the drive in the BIOS or by using a Linux Live CD.

PII CPU with 128mb RAM and a 4Gb HDD is barely capable of running XP. Perhaps consider reverting to Win98 until you can get a higher spec machine.
Also, sounds like your HDD is getting ready to fail.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Run system restore from a C prompt.
