I would start by running diagnostics on that harddrive.

Finally got it up and runing again.. The ram btw tested out ok.. So this is what I had did. I did a internet search for that file and downloaded it onot my own laptop... Then I took her copy of the OS and copyed all the files and put them into a seperate folder on the desktop.. Then I deleted the bad file, and inserted the downloade file into the folder... Reburned the files onto a seperate disk and then did a clean install of Windows Xp all over again.. So far it worked, even thou I didn't think it would... Finished getting all the updates from MS and right now every thing seems to be working ok. Could be I just had a bad copy or something...
