Guy go into safemod and use run option in it type in: chkdsk /f hit enter then rebootup. in WIndows Xp family the scandisk you have to use dos to enter it. it will look for all error and the F its is for "full" as in fully scan all areas.

you could go to My Computer lookup the HHD go to "Properties" in there you see "Tools" look in there for scandisk, it will ask you to reboot and type in Y for yes or N for No type in Y then restart your system. you see a blue screen asking you if you like to disable it leave it be and let it run, when its finsh it will reboot on its own, when your finsh update it asap it really need the update spec/ the SP1.

all your hardware have to have software and drivers for windows Xp you don't have it lookup the MFG of them hardware to see if they have new software and drivers for it.

go into safe mod restart the PC when it startup again press F8 key you will see option for things to use pick "safemod commands" a blank box left side you see dos type in chkdsk /f now hit enter after type in exit after that point press Alt & Ctri & Delete at same time a new box popup now up top you see "Shutdown" press on it in there is a option restart click-on it your set. If mouse dose not work in safemod press Tab key till file is highlited. then use the pointer keys to move the highlited bottons till it goes to shutdown.

you could take it to a tech the tower have them look it over see if it hookup right.
