this happens sometimes due to hardware failure. Windows XP SP2 has a
bug!
However Microsoft provides a HOTfix (a small patch) that should be
installed on the system before upgrading to SP2.
this happened to me once and this is how i got it done:
1.Install Windows XP SP1.
2.Download and install the hotfix.
3.Download and install the SP2 Package.

To download the Patch and read more about this:
