Sounds like a hardware problem. At this point, the computer hasn't starting
accessing the data on the hard drive, so it's not XP related.

It could be a bios setting, it could be damage to the drives, it could be
damage to the motherboard, it could be a bad cable (but that's doubtful) or
it could be bad ram. Or even the processor, but I doubt that.

If you don't know how to troubleshoot those sorts of things, or don't have
the equipment and/or parts, you might want to take the computer somewhere
and get it diagnosed and/or repaired.
